Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers
John Avery Lomax is a towering figure in the field of early American musicology and folklore. Through intensive field work, Lomax built up the core body of work for the Library of Congress Archive. "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads" is his collection that propelled him to the forefront of his field and ignited new interest in American folklore, inspiring many to continue research. For his contributions to the field of cowboy music, Locas was inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Many of the verses here are accompanied by musical scores, and some may be more familiar in their musical form such as "A Home on the Range." A wide array of characters and life across the western United States is represented here. - Summary by Larry Wilson (6 hr 36 min)

It seems there would be better places for a reader to practice their English. But mostly well read. The cowboy song are a treasure. I sing some of these songs.
Not for children
Bill Cosby
None of these cowboy stories and songs are inclusive of nonbinary transgendered voices. They reflect a very phalogocentric world view that is incompatible with Democracy and the global village fighting injustice. If we expose children to these stories they will likely want to be cowboys. Better they become civilized cosmetologists or work in human resources. Authors are literal Aldolf Hitlers
