Folklore tells us something about almost every aspect of the life of the people. This rich and entertaining collection of Nebraska pioneer folklore, taken largely from the Nebraska Folklore Pamphlets issued by the Federal Writers'' Project in the 1930s, is intended first and foremost for the general reader, for the people whose heritage it is.
 
Songs of trail and prairie and of the Farmers'' Alliance, white man''s yarns and Indian tales, pioneer Nebraska folk customs, sayings, proverbs, beliefs, children''s games, cooking, and cures—these "wondrously entertaining kaleidoscopic reflections of the people and environment that were inspirations of the classic literature of Mari Sandoz and Willa Cather—to name two—could be a model for Americana collectors in other states to emulate. . . . A treasury indeed."—King Features Syndicate "Parade of Books."
