Allan C. BS: 88 Books that shaped America (82* d) RE: BS: 88 Books that shaped America 04 Jul 12

I don't know if the book (edited by) E. A. Botkin listed above changed anything about America, but it certainly helped to point me toward an interest in folklore and traditional songs. I stumbled upon his "Treasury of American Folklore" long before I ever heard of Lomax. Botkin produced quite a number of other books of the same sort. Many of them were specific to certain areas of the USA. I have quite a few of these and have enjoyed thumbing through the various stories and songs therein.
