We felt that these records, to be of lasting value, should be humanized, and that the stories of the oldtimers were what we needed to provide life and interest. And so I sent out a letter to the folks… Read More

A completely revised edition was published in 1962 and this was reprinted with a few changes early in 1964" (Preface to Third edition).
