leeneia	early US collections of folk songs (21)	RE: early US collections of folk songs	03 Nov 16
I once got a facsimile of a book, c. 1812, called "Reilly's Flute Melodies." In the introduction, the editor said there were many books of American popular music published in the early days (19th century, probably even 18th.) The trouble is, the copies didn't survive. By "popular music" I mean the music people were singing at the time. We could consider most of it folk music by now. Sad to say, most of it is lost.
