Local folklore in U.S. Virgin Islands

5 U.S. Virgin Islands dossiers ride on local folklore — stories circulating in community tradition with no single telling to point at. The archive files them because the community does: passed along, retold, claimed by the county rather than the page. Provenance here is a chorus, not a signature.
