I just finished reading this book last night. Excellent reading, with more substance than his previous two Big Books. Most of the stories are from the early part of the century, as they've had enough time to become legends (and couldn't be refuted at the time). Though he does take a couple of on air quotes from recent TV broadcasts and refutes them, probably in the hopes that they don't become legends.
There's even a Ron Gardenhire quote: "Bingo Bango."
