Excerpt from Stephen Collins Foster: A Biography or America's Folk-Song Composer The record Of scientific and material progress in America has been fairly well established, but in the fine arts we are just beginning to find ourselves, and it is important that the story of our beginnings along these lines should be gathered together and preserved. Stephen Foster occupies a unique position in the history of music, not only Of this country, but of the world. NO other single individual produced so many of those songs which are called folk-songs, by which is meant songs that so perfectly express the mood and spirit of the people that they become a part of the life of all the folk and speak as the voice, not of an indi vidual, but Of all. SO completely do the folk absorb these songs and adapt them to their own uses, that the individuality and frequently even the name of the originator is completely lost, thus giving rise to the erroneous idea that a folk-song is a song created not by an individual but by a community. It is obvious that all things must have a beginning, however Obscure, and every folk-song is first born in the heart and brain Of some one person, whose spirit is so finely attuned to the voice Of that inward struggle which is the history of the soul of man, that when he seeks for his own self expression, he at the same time gives a voice to that vast mute multitude who die and give no sign. Such a one was Stephen Foster, more fortunate in his fate than that glorious company of nameless poet-souls, whose aspiration after the fair face of Beauty, haunting all the world, is preserved in the folk-songs of the world. Surely his name is worthy Of at least one volume upon the shelf of history! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... VI DRIFTING The records of Stephen Foster's life during these important years are scanty. Of the few letters surviving from this period, one of the most illuminating is the following: Pittsburgh, May 25, 1852. E. P. Christy, Esq. Dear Sir: As I once intimated to you, I had the intention of omitting my name on my Ethiopian songs, owing to the prejudice against them by some, which might injure my reputation as a writer of another style of music, but I find that by my efforts I have done a great deal to build up a taste for the Ethiopian songs among refined people by making the words suitable to their taste, instead of the trashy and really offensive words which belong to some songs of that order. Therefore I have concluded to reinstate my name on my songs and to pursue the Ethiopian business without fear or shame and lend all my energies to making the business live, at the same time that I will wish to establish my name as the best Ethiopian song-writer. But I am not encouraged in undertaking this so long as "The Old Folks at Home" stares me in the face with another's name on it. As it was at my own solicitation that you allowed your name to be placed on the song, I hope that the above reasons will be sufficient explanation for my desire to place my own name on it as author and composer, while at the same time I wish to leave the name of your band on the title page. This is a little matter of pride in myself which it will certainly be to your interest to encourage. On the receipt of your free consent to this proposition, I will, if you wish, willingly refund you the money which you paid me on that song, though it may have been sent me for other considerations than the one in question, and I promise in addition to write you an opening...
