This is not a "history" of Prince Edward County in the usual sense. Although many of the stories in this book are true, many others have obviously been embellished in the re-telling. They are, however, "real" stories - they have all been told, at one time or another, by people in the County. Stories have survived here where they have disappeared in other localities. Because of the County's geographic isolation and because so many of the "old families" still live here, tales have often been passed from generation to generation.

Although I have not fabricated any details, I often found different versions of the same events. Every attempt was made to verify historical detail, but in cases where I found varying accounts, I simply chose to use the interpretation I liked best.

Thank you to all the people who told me stories ...
