Bibliography
Publications of the Texas Folk-Lore Society y 1916—
First volume out of print. Admirably written to entertain as well as to inform; contributions from such important collectors as the present editor, J. Frank Dobie. Volume X, for 1932, entitled Tone the Bell Easy, is a good example of the great interest of the series. Randolph, Vance, Ozark Mountain Folks. New York: Vanguard Press, 1932.

Harvard University Press, 1926. Sandburg, Carl, The American Songbag. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1927. Two editions—the second much lower in price than the first.
Words and music, with delightful comments; a very important book, avowedly borrowing from Messrs. Gordon, Lomax, and other leading col­lectors.
