About this title

Review

"Kartchner was born to a good Mormon family on the northern Arizona frontier in 1886 and lived a life full of adventure--as well as music. From 1902 until the early 1920s, his fiddle music filled Arizona dance halls where it fulfilled a vitalizing role in the lives of the people relieving the hardship of their living conditions. His memories provide firsthand observation on what life in Arizona was like during the years bridging pioneer to modern times."--Booklist "In Frontier Fiddler, Kenner Kartchner writes about himself as a person who wove music into the cloth of his life. . . . A good read for anybody who likes old-time music and an excellent introduction to what it was like to experience old-time fiddling nearly a century ago in Arizona."--Journal of American Folklore "Kenner Kartchner (1886-1970) was the son of a Mormon pioneer family, and Frontier Fiddler is his autobiography. . . . Written in a refreshingly unpretentious style, the book is a pleasure to read and it throws fascinating light on life and work in the Arizona and New Mexico area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."--Folklore (England)
