Published in 1922&;years before Shoemaker&;s time as Pennsylvania&;s first state folklorist&;Allegheny Episodes includes twenty-five stories written in his typical literary style. Some tales recall famous hunters and loggers who made their way through Pennsylvania&;s rough country; others center on rivalry and lost love, ghosts and other supernatural phenomena, and the wilderness itself. Shoemaker saw Pennsylvania&;s folklore as a melding of Native American and European practices. Though his methods have been contested over the years, Shoemaker&;s work as a folklorist stemmed from his deep affinity for Pennsylvania&;s fading wilderness and his desire to capture the heart of its people through the spoken and written word.
