Thread Name: Favourite Cowboy Songs-Second Edition
Subject: RE: Favourite Cowboy Songs-Second Edition
These 1938 (and 1986?) re-issues of the Favorite Cowboy Songs book--do they have only the songs from the original 1910 Alan Lomax book, or are there more modern ones added? I have a friend who's looking for a book of cowboy songs with none later than, say, 1920. (Nothing from the radio era or after--no, not even Ragtime Cowboy Joe.)   She's pertikler.

She thought the book she was really looking for was called Cowboy Songs and Frontier Songs, but it seems evident to me that the book she wants is the subject of this thread--as long as there are no new songs added in the new additions. She did say that it came out in 1910, assembled by Alan Lomax.

If the 1938 and 1986 versions are just reprints--no additions--where can she get a copy of this book?   Any ideas?
