About this Item

The author looks at American songs and song-writing from the country's earliest days through the 1920s, with great affection and amusement. The chapter entitled "Fashionable Songs of the 'Fifties" refers to the 1850s not the 1950s. Many lyrics and simple scores. Prior owner's name in pencil on front endpaper. Although the interior is bright and sturdy, this book has been well-loved. Covers and endpapers are considerably smudged, and back hinge has come loose. Paperclipped to one page is a sheet of ship's stationery containing hand-written lyrics to "Waltzing Matilda"; the paperclip has left a mark on the next page. Seller Inventory # 001711
