1974, 12mo, 97pp, bibliography. Backstrip and top quarter inch of front cover sunned, else G. The Kentucky Bicentennial Bookshelf series. With an introduction by the late dean of Kentucky historians, Thomas D. Clark. From the cover: "The oral tradition of Kentucky is one of the most interesting in the nation and has attracted a number of outstanding men and women - scholars and writers, teachers and singers - who have devoted their energies to Kentucky's folk and their ways. Some have collected examples of the state's unique speech patterns and word usages. Others have recorded local place names and the legends that surround them, or the yarns and tall tales transmitted from one generation to the next. Musicians have sought the authentic mountain folksongs, both old and new, and gifted writers have woven details of their Kentucky upbringing into poems, novels, and stories. Here is described the work of these enthusiastic students.".
