Very well Joe, I'll see your 1938 and raise you the 1910 first edition. In comparison of content. Its interesting to see what Lomax chooses to place first and what goes to the back in later editions. It is also useful to date material. That is the material that Jack Thorp did not find or choose for his earlier Songs of the Cowboys (1908). Most notably, A Home On The Range.
