Article Abstract:

The Scottish component of James Madison Carpenter's British folk music collection fills gaps in the history of the Scottish folk song. He was able to gain the trust of native singers and recorded numerous versions of popular folk songs. The collection contains both ballads, previously collected by Francis James Child and songs about everyday life.
