Songs Of The Cattle Trail And Cow Camp (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430487357)

Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp is a collection of traditional American folk songs compiled by John Avery Lomax, a noted folklorist and musicologist. The book features a wide range of songs that were popular among cowboys and cattle drivers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including ballads, work songs, and humorous tunes. Many of the songs in the collection were originally passed down through oral tradition and had never been written down before. Lomax's book includes lyrics and musical notation for each song, as well as historical and cultural context for the songs and the people who sang them. Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American folk music, cowboy culture, or the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
