Schenectady Stories: Folklore from Schenectady and its Early Churches

Abstract:

I studied and compiled some of the stories from early Schenectady and the three early churches of the city. These stories all come from hazy sources but tell a lot about what the people of the city wanted to represent or exaggerate in their own retellings generations later. It is a compilation I also audited to determine if the stories were more fiction than representation of true events.
