Texas: Coffee in the Gourd

Features Texas: Coffee in the Gourd

This is a folklore miscellany originally published by the Texas Folk-lore society in 1923, and reprinted in 1935.
The articles reflect the cultural diversity of Texas, including articles on African-American, Tejano, German and Native American folklore.
One of the highlights is an interview with W.C.
Handy, the father of the blues; the lyrics in this piece foreshadow some of the great rock compositions of the sixties.
