The tales below are examples of the kind of stories Pennsylvania Jack tells at his performances. Some have just been around forever, in one version or another. Some have been “collected”, that is to say written down after perhaps centuries of being passed down by word of mouth. Jack is also capable of telling lies, either made up outright on the spot, or borrowed from even greater liars.
