Olive Dame Campbell and folk songs

Appalachians (People)

John C. Campbell Folk School

This essay tells the story of Olive Dame Campbell and her involvement with the traditional songs of the mountain region. It describes her collaboration with Cecil Sharp, British researcher, who came to the United States hoping to find some of the early English folk songs still being sung. It ends with Campbell bringing music to the John C. Campbell Folk School and how it was used in plays and evening gatherings. The article was written by Marguerite Butler Bidstrup and was published in the 1954 Olive Dame Campbell memorial issue of "Mountain Life & Work."
