Folk Heroes: American Highwaymen I Folklore is filled with legends, myths and fables about men and women who were known for their lawless deeds. Among them are the highwaymen. These real-life pirates of the land robbed travelers and left paths of destruction in their wake. This may well be what people remember most about them. The following three tales focus on American highwaymen whose thievery and cunning lived well on after they had died. The Doan Brothers: Between 1781 and 1788, the Doan Brothers formed a gang of at least 30 men. Together they terrorized small eastern Pennsylvania towns. Robberies, shootouts and jailbreaks were common acts for them. Historians have suggested that they do so as a form of retribution. This payback was meant to even the score and then some for land being taken from their family during the American Revolutionary War. This retaliation led to a path of crime that death stopped. Ben Kuhl: This man earned his fame by being a part of the last horse-drawn stage robbery in the United States. In 1916, Kuhl and a few friends attacked the driver of a first-class mail stage and shot him in the back of the head, leaving behind an overcoat and a bloody envelope. The culprits fled with over $4,000 in gold coins. They nearly got away with it. Witnesses helped the police identity Kuhl and the bloody envelope left behind with his palm prints on it was used in court as evidence. David Lewis: “The Robin Hood of Pennsylvania” became a deserter soon after enlisting in the Army at the age of 17. From there he embarked on a new trade, counterfeiting. After Lewis had escaped prison (and the death sentence), he made his way to Vermont to work on a new scheme. He focused on robbing the city’s elites in order to garner the highest possible profit. After a string of successful attacks, Lewis was wounded and captured and put in jail, where he eventually died from gangrene infested wounds. The list of American Highwaymen continues next week with a brief look into the lives of James Ford, the Harpe Brothers, and others. Related Information Ben Kuhl Folk Heroes and Heroines

Greek gods, Norse heroes, Polynesian tricksters, and Native American warriors--they all have lessons to teach us. Since the beginning of time, human beings have relied on myths, fairy tales, and fables to explain life's mysteries. Bringing a fresh perspective to these age-old tales, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke reveal how seekers today can find comfort and support in the legends and lore of the past. The Mythic Journey explores the psychological themes of many mythical traditions, recounting stories from Greco-Roman, Hebraic, Egyptian, Celtic, Norse, and various Eastern civilizations. More than 50 myths are beautifully retold, and each is followed by a psychological overview explaining how we can apply the story to our own lives. The Mythic Journey is a handbook for human life, guiding readers from the conflicts of family and childhood, through problems of love, intimacy, and ambition, and ultimately to the point when we must face our own mortality. We discover that true self knowledge comes through facing life's challenges with courage and strength; that beauty, talent, power, and wealth bring their own forms of suffering; and that in the darkness of loneliness, failure, and loss, we have always discovered new light and new hope.

Ireland’s long history is riddled with ancient mythology and folklore. Ireland’s ancient societies, the Druids and the Celtics, believed in the power of magic and many of these beliefs spread to modern day legends told again and again across the country. Stories of warriors with all the knowledge of the world, fairies playing pranks on farm owners and leprechauns hiding their gold at the end of a rainbow add to the mysterious appeal of Ireland. 10.

Overview. The fables you will read here come from The Fables of Aesop by Joseph Jacobs, who was one of the great folklorists of the nineteenth century. I have included all of the fables found in this book, re-arranging them according to the main characters, and I have also added illustrations from Walter Crane's Baby's Own Aesop. Crane's illustrations come with limericks by W. J. Linton, so you will sometimes have two versions of a given fable: the prose version in Jacobs and the short limerick by Linton. I hope you will enjoy the Crane illustrations! Of the many illustrated books of Aesop's fables, Crane's book is my personal favorite; if you look at the Crane illustrations closely, you will find all kinds of great details that might, in turn, be useful when you write an Aesop's fable of your own. Language. The language used here is quite contemporary. There is some poetry included just for fun — and the poetry takes the form of limericks, not intimidating at all. You might even try writing some limericks for the fables that do not have the versions in verse! Navigation. You will find the table of contents below, and you can also use this link to see the story posts displayed on two pages total: Aesop's Fables. Click "Older Posts" at the bottom of that page to see the second page. Choosing Between Units. As you will see, there are two Aesop units available in the Classical module: this unit by Jacobs with illustrations by Crane, and the unit with Aesop's fables illustrated by Milo Winter. If you are really into Aesop's fables, you can do both units if you want; there is not any overlap between the actual fables in the unit. The Jacobs unit contains all the fables in Jacobs' book, and I removed all the fables in the Winter unit that are found in Jacobs. So, if you choose to do both of these Aesop units, you will be a real Aesop expert! If you are going to do Aesop for just one week, the most important difference between the two units is that the Jacobs unit does not have a free audiobook version, but the Winter unit does. Connecting Units. The fables of Aesop have been both popular and influential for over 200 years! In addition to the two Aesop units in the Classical module, you will find a unit of Aesop's Fables in English Poetry and Prose in the British Isles modules, and the Fables of the French Poet La Fontaine in the European module. In addition, there are close connections between Aesop's fables and the "jataka tales" of the Buddhist tradition, and you will find two jataka units in the India module: Babbitt's Jataka Tales and Shedlock's Jataka Tales. Read More. When you finish this unit, you will have read all of the fables in the book by Jacobs! In addition to the fables themselves, he has some fascinating comparative notes in the back of the book, plus a very informative preface and introduction. You can find those additional portions of the Jacobs book online at Internet Archive and other sources; here is a direct link to his Short History of the Aesopic Fable, and here is a link to the Notes. Additional Resources. There is an Aesop Index page for all the fables in the various Aesop units in this course, and you can use this link to see the four different Aesop units listed on a single page. If you would like to see all 600 of the fables that are part of the Greek and Roman Aesop tradition, you can find a listing at Aesopica.net.
