Description

Author: Harrington, John P. (1884-1961)

Publisher: United States Government Printing Office

Pub Date: 1928

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Poor to Fair.  Stapled binding tight.  Gift inscription in ink on title page.  At bottom of title page something has been marked out (date?).  Chipping on all edges.  Approx. 1″ piece of lower spine missing, showing signatures.  Lots of corners folded.  Ex-library.  Inside rear board has library card (never been used) and diagonal strip to hold the card.  No other library markings.  This baby has lots of wear but it’s still tight.

Notes: Extract from the Forty-Third Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology.  The gift inscription is from Helen H. Roberts.  Roberts (1888-1985) was an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist.  She was a protege of Alfred V. Kidder and Franz Boas.  She worked on recordings of California Indian songs made by John P. Harrington in 1916 and 1917 (see citation link) and transcribed them in 1921.  In this volume there are 11 Picuris songs, with an analysis attribution to Roberts.
