Black Dog (called Beau!), New Jersey -   Some rights reserved by nosha |
"...They soon reached a crossway, not far from the fortifications. When, suddenly the man was startled by a loud report, followed by a blinding flash, as of lightning, which struck him senseless to the ground. At daybreak, he was found by the driver of the mail-cart, lying in the ditch at the roadside in an unconscious state. Tradition says, that a foul murder was many years ago committed at this spot, and the victim's dog is doomed to traverse this road and kill every man he encounters, until the perpetrator of the deed has perished by his instrumentality.
There are similar legends of the doings of the Black Dog throughout the county, and many wayside public houses have " The Black Dog" for a sign."
