Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads
Book • 1910
This book collects and preserves cowboy songs and other frontier ballads from the American West.
It was compiled by John A. Lomax, who traveled through the western United States to gather these songs from isolated communities, such as mining camps, cattle ranches, and other remote areas.
The collection reflects the continuation of the Anglo-Saxon ballad spirit in these regions, where people relied on traditional songs for entertainment and emotional expression, similar to their ancestors in England and Scotland.
