Folk Songs out of WisconsinEntry/Object ID
2018.222.0005Description
This book contains the lyrics and music of 200 songs that were once sung by the ordinary people of Wisconsin: by farmers and lumberjacks, sailors and tradesmen, housewives and schoolchildren of widely differing cultural and ethnic traditions who settled here in the second half of the nineteenth century. The songs were collected, for the most part, during the Great Depression and just after World War II, when many of the singers were in their seventies and eighties.
