The first edition of A Ballad of America was officially adopted by the United States Military Library Service program.
I like what you've done with your collection of folk songs, especially the chapter organization and the various introductions to the parts, chapters, and to the songs themselves. All will be especially useful to teachers and the other readers.

[A Ballad of America - third edition]
... is a very impressive work, visually attractive, with a beautiful selection of folksongs to use in conjunction with the study of history. Congratulations on your fine accomplishment! I foresee it will be used frequently by patrons in the American Folklife Center's reading room.

... well executed overall... The approach, music, narrative, and visuals are sound and useful. They tell a vivid and engaging story and there is a place for such a work within the primary and secondary curriculum.
