Notes

A Treasury of American Folklore, edited by B.A. Botkin, is a comprehensive anthology that captures the richness and diversity of American folk traditions. The collection includes a wide range of stories, legends, songs, and anecdotes from various regions and cultures across the United States. Botkin, a folklorist, compiled this volume to preserve and celebrate the oral traditions that reflect the American experience. The book features tales of legendary figures like Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed, as well as lesser-known folk heroes, and provides insight into the humor, values, and beliefs of the American people. This anthology remains an important work in the study and appreciation of American folklore.
