44 Old Time Mormon and Far West Songs - Paperback

by George F. Briegel (Editor)

1933. Including railroad, cowboy, hobo, Rocky Mountain, love and comedy numbers complete with words and music. Briegel has for a number of years been interested in collecting early day folk songs of the West and this collection represents a vast amount of research work. Many numbers were obtained from Pioneers who sang them to Mr. Briegel who then arranged the music for publication. Lovers of American songs will find this assembly of great historical, as well as musical value and this treasure-trove of melodies should help preserve traditional American Pioneer Songs.
