For this collection, Alton Morris selected 243 folksongs gathered
in the late 1930s from more than a hundred singers in 49 of
Florida's 67 counties. Headnotes identify each song's source and
its historical or social context. Among the distinctions of Morris'
book are the large proportion of texts attached to transcriptions
of the tune to which they were sung and the unusually unbiased
nature of his selection procedure. The result is a collection that
more truly than most reflects the complete singing traditions of a
regional cultural group, in this case Floridians primarily of
Anglo-American extraction.
