There was a period when it seemed like every other day someone was starting a new thread on the Songcatcher movie, with lots of speculation on the inspiriations, in spite of the fact that there were documents on the web from the movie makers citing Olive Campbell as inspiration. Run a filter search on the title and you want more of that!

On the folk school web site, there's more about her and her role in starting the school, along with Marguerite Butler in starting the school (after John C.'s death).
