Baring-Gould is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the unique cultural and social landscape of Cornwall, focusing on a collection of lesser-known figures and peculiar happenings that have shaped the region’s identity. Through vivid storytelling, the author highlights the diverse contributions of individuals from Cornwall, ranging from noted scientists to eccentric characters. At the start of the book, the author provides a detailed preface that outlines Cornwall's distinctiveness from the rest of England, influenced by its Celtic heritage and geographical isolation. S. Baring-Gould presents a vivid portrait of its hardy people, who have historically been sailors, smugglers, miners, and inventors. The opening section also introduces William Pengelly, a noted geologist whose adventurous and tumultuous upbringing sets the tone for recounting the unusual lives of Cornish characters that will be documented throughout the narrative. The preface lays the foundation for a fascinating exploration of personalities and events that define Cornish lore.
