A great example of American folklore that takes its place with tales like The Devil and Daniel Webster.
This one even goes a step beyond, as Colonel Lightfoot not only defeats the devil resulting in the salvation of Virginia's land, but also gains important insight into himself a la Ebenezer Scrooge. His contest with the Devil makes him a better person in his everyday life.
This is a great read-aloud for classrooms studying folklore, Americana--or young students who need a reminder about the downside of bragging.
