"Myths and legends of our own land"[edit]

A friend found a reference to the powerder house in an old book from 1898 collecting various American legends and folk tale. I'm not sure if this warrants inclusion in the article or not (this is certainly a legend, although it may not be historical). The text, only about two pages long, can be found for free here: http://books.google.com/books?id=ueIWAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=charles+skinner+myths+and+Legends+of+our+own+land&source=bl&ots=GKr84vXI2T&sig=E7w3titrIeThuzkNC44XUMK3OD0&hl=en&ei=NDouTMVCwoLyBpul3IAD&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false See page 249-250.

Also another tale, citing the first source and providing a different version of the events: http://books.google.com/books?id=BCdILiCPSvUC&pg=PA79&lpg=PA79&dq=nathan+tufts+park+haunted&source=bl&ots=MJ-P8HfwgF&sig=fPceAjdd3Ovhaym75w1sngAYlAM&hl=en&ei=mz4uTIv0JIG78gaX5J2GAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=nathan%20tufts%20park%20haunted&f=false Mjgilbert (talk) 19:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Layout[edit]

Perhaps a more experienced Wiki contributor can help with the layout of the article? I added some photos of the bronze monuments in the park, and they seem to be creating havoc with the layout. Is it worth having them there if the article becomes difficult to read?--Vistawhite (talk) 19:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
