In this passage from "The Devil and Tom Walker," what cultural attitude is expressed by the people living at that time and place? From "The Devil and Tom Walker" It was late in the dusk of evening when Tom Walker reached the old fort, and he paused there awhile to rest himself. Anyone but he would have felt unwilling to linger in this lonely, melancholy place, for the common people had a bad opinion of it, from the stories handed down from the time of the Indian wars; when it was asserted that the savages held incantations here, and made sacrifices to the evil spirit."
