Georgia born Lucy Harvie Hull Baldwin compiled this significant collection of folk songs before her death in 1923. O'Hare added pianoforte accompaniments. He notes: "The Plantation Songs, and, as well those of the Georgia Mountaineers, were first heard and collected by the gifted woman at their native sources." As is typical with "folk" music, at least one 1867 published popular song is included in somewhat altered form. William Christopher O'Hare, professionally "Christopher O'Hare", was a well-known American composer and arranger of popular music. He was important in bringing ragtime music to the public and composed music for early silent films. George Johnson Baldwin was a rich Savannah based businessman active in mining, railroads, fertilizer, banking, etc. Signed by the Editor.
