From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "An oldie but goodie. This compilation of traditional American songs is a gem of a book, a treasure trove of familiar and not-so-familiar songs from another era. There are sections of work songs, hymns, African American spirituals, sea shanties, traditional folk songs, marches.....it's all there. If you want to know the words to old favorites, it's probably here."; "Gorgeous illustrations and a wonderful selection of songs!"; "The selection of songs and the complementary information are the best! Needed another copy to replace a much used, worn, original edition!"; "Beautiful scores and a good collection of familiar and unfamiliar folk songs. Really great."; ""
