The Sunny Slopes of Long Ago

By Allen Maxwell and Wilson M. Hudson

Book Overview

"Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago!" This was the favorite toast of John A. Lomax, co-founder of the Texas Folklore Society and the man who, J. Frank Dobie wrote, "more than any other made the cowboy songs and Negro songs a part of the inheritance and folklore of the world." Lomax's toast gives this collection of Texas folklore its name. And the volume opens most fittingly with Dobie's article on Lomax.
