About the book
Douglas Messerli has collected 78 lyrics of American folksongs and popular music from the 19th century. Some such as the African-American spirituals, the chanteys, and the cowboy songs, are beautiful paeans to the American way of living. But the majority, especially the minstrel songs and Civil War ballads, are often perverse in their racial humor and sexual undertones.
