Excerpt from The Story of Our National Ballads In the beginning, when our plucky Thirteen Colonies decided to break away from the Mother Country, and start out on life as a separate Na tion, we had no Song, - and no Flag, - that we could call our own. Yet, at this date, to tell the Story of Our National Songs, is to put the his tory of our country in a nutshell. For every period of that history has brought its own individ ual music with it, consequently, the annals of America are embodied in her patriotic ballads, to a far greater degree than those of any other land seem to be.
