Thread Name: Laws index numbers online?
Subject: RE: Laws index numbers online?
I'm looking at a 1950 edition of Native American Balladry, and it does not include many of the Laws numbers listed by the Prescott Website (or by the Digital Tradition). The last "A" listing was Hiram Hubbert, Laws A20 - but the Prescott index goes to Laws A26. I believe the last revision of Native American Balladry was in 1964, and Laws added a number of songs in the 1964 edition of the book. Notice that I've placed a line in each category to separate the songs added in the second edition. If you have the later edition and can help correct these listings, please post corrections below. I think I have them all correct, but mistakes are inevitable in this sort of project.
Thanks.
