The songs collected in Folk Songs of The Catskills reflect the history of this ancient region. This book, compiled by three colleagues, traces the origins of these songs back to early Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English, and American sources and compares their texts and musical structure to other traditional songs. Through extensive research, the late composer and university professor Norman Cazden and his colleagues have created a unique and enjoyable resource on the folklore and musical richness of the Catskill Mountains.
