Ballads of the American Revolution 1767-1781

This 1966 LP edition combines the two original volumes of Ballads of the American Revolution 1767-1781 that were released in 1953 as FP 48-1 and FP 48-2 and include illustrated liner notes that set the scene for the music and describe the background to events featured in the songs. British-born folklorist Wallace House selected these 20 ballads for their historical significance and arranged them on this collection chronologically. The recording opens with a song from 1767 describing attempts to reconcile England with the colonies, and ends with a song about the defeat of the British Army at Saratoga from 1781.
