In this second edition publication Smith (author of Folk Songs of Old Virginia and Greenwich Village: The Happy Folk Singing Days, 1950s and 1960s) closely follows the history of the Appalachian dulcimer from European origin, American re-invention, near extinction to revival, and its current prominent place in Southern music. The author, being a player of the instrument himself, also offers his personal journey with the Appalachian dulcimer via the Greenwich Village folk music revival of the 1960s and his extensive travels and studies throughout the Southeastern United States.
