This book traces the lives of the Snowdens, an African American
family of musicians and farmers living in rural Knox County, Ohio.
Howard L. Sacks and Judith Rose Sacks examine the Snowdens' musical
and social exchanges with rural whites from the 1850s through the
early 1920s and provide a detailed exploration of the claim that
the Snowden family taught the song "Dixie" to Dan Emmett-–the
white musician and blackface minstrel credited with writing the
song. This edition features a new introduction in which the authors
discuss the public response to this controversial claim, and
present new information on the Snowdens' musical and social
experiences. Â
