The Ballad Book of John Jacob Niles
Full text linkA legend in the folk music community, John Jacob Niles enjoyed a lengthy career as a balladeer, folk collector, and songwriter. Ever close to his Kentucky roots, he spent much of his adulthood searching for the most well-loved songs of the southern Appalachia. The Ballad Book of John Jacob Niles brings together a wealth of songs with the stories that inspired them, arranged by a gifted performer. This new edition includes all of the melodies, text, commentary, and illustrations of the 1961 original and features a new introduction by Ron Pen, director of the John Jacob Niles Center for American Music at the University of Kentucky.
Niles’s stories and the songs themselves flesh out the line drawings of preservationist recordings. —Green Man Review
The histories accompanying each ballad in this work are delightful histories, anecdotes and vignettes, interesting in and of themselves. —Kentucky Libraries
Niles has really given us two books in one: a superior \u27Child-ballad\u27 songster, [and] a series of descriptions, anecdotes, and folksay from informants. . . . For more than fifty years he has made a traditional culture seem as beautiful as his own devoted and dignified spirit. —New York Herald-Tribune
His most ambitious effort in a long and rich career. —New York Times
A treasure trove for musicians, living history enthusiasts, and many other readers. —Reviewers Consortium
His comments are as valuable as the songs are beautiful. . . . A marvelous book. —Washington Posthttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_music/1008/thumbnail.jp

John Jacob Omenhausser, Civil War sketchbook, Point Lookout, Maryland, 1864-1865
No full textConfederate soldier John Jacob Omenhausser was imprisoned at the Union prison camp in Point Lookout, Maryland, from June 1864 to June 1865, near the end of the American Civil War. While at Point Lookout, Omenhausser documented prison life in sketchbooks with vibrant watercolors.
