| Description |
In the 1940s, the Wisconsin Folk Music Recording Project, sponsored by the Library of Congress and the University of Wisconsin, took Helene Stratman-Thomas and other fieldworkers on a collecting expedition around Wisconsin to document a folk music that reflects the colorful pattern of immigration and and occupational development in the state. This album presents a folk portrait of English-language songs from the project, many from England, Scotland, and Ireland, including a child's singing game, historical ballads, dance tunes, and several lumberjack songs. |
