Product Description:
This, my third book about Staten Island, takes a look into the islands past in a series of short stories. Be they myth, folklore, legend or tales, they have been past down from generation to generation. Some are proven true, some are believed to be false but the one thing they all have in common, they have been repeated time after time. I am sure that some of these stories will bring up fond memories of Staten Islands past.
