Farther west, tales of legendary hunter Meshach Browning echo among the Allegany Mountains while visitors to Deep Creek Lake may feel the chilling presence of monks who never left their former monastery. From the 1909 hoax of the monstrous Snallygaster that terrorized the Middletown Valley to the doglike Dwayyo that was spotted near Frederick in 1965, local historian Susan Fair rounds up the bizarre beasts, odd characters and unsolved mysteries that color the legends and lore of Western Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Fair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626190240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626190245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.03w x 0.33d","brand":"Susan Fair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984699949311,"sku":"9781626190245","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48333078-bb24-4ca4-ad77-751135aaec7b.jpg?v=1683273759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mysteries-and-lore-of-western-susan-fair-9781626190245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
