Abstract
A lovely work, following Child's ballads to the United states. It includes the music and for many of the ballads, along with piano accompaniment and guitar chord suggestions.
All the verses which Niles collected are included, and he compares the version collected with the Child ballads, and sometimes includes the story of how the ballad was collected, which adds an interesting dimension.
This is a great book for anyone interested in oral history and music collecting, or American folk music
