Welcome, kind listener, to The Washington Irving Library - a quiet corner of the modern world where old tales wander freely once more. Here are gathered the sketches, legends, and curious histories of America’s earliest storyteller, read in full and unhurried, as though beside a hearth on an autumn evening.

From the misty hollows of the Hudson Valley to the rambling pages of forgotten journals, each episode invites you to linger awhile in the company of dreamers, schoolmasters, travellers, and ghosts both merry and melancholy. This library stands ever open, its lamp lit, its pages turning, and its stories ready to be heard anew.Public domain

    In which our narrative, turning to the distant and rugged regions beyond the mountains, follows the ventures of Mr. Robert Stuart’s scattered parties as they navigate encounters with the industrious yet thievish Chipunnish tribe, the wild roaming bands of restless Indians, and the misadventures of wandering voyageurs and trappers amid the caches of buried trade goods. In this chapter, the hardy men establish trading posts, endure hardships of travel and theft, and form a disparate company bound by fortune’s whimsical hand, traversing rivers, mountains, and plains in pursuit of survival and commerce.
