CDR copy Tape Info: These recordings feature Warde Ford, of Crandon, Wisconsin, near Wolf River. Warde and other relatives were involved in lumbering and many of the songs they sing are from the lumber camps. Warde was originally recorded by Sydney Robertson Cowell as part of the WPA Northern California Folk Music Project, begun in 1938, when Warde was in California to work on the Shasta Dam. Some of those recordings are in the CFCH Archives; all of them are in the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress and are available on their website, identified as "California Gold." From 1952 - 1955, Sydney Robertson Cowell re-recorded Warde Ford and other family members, notably Warde's uncle, Robert Walker. Warde had enlisted in the Army, and in 1954 - 1955 was stationed in Munich, Germany, where he was recorded at the studio of Radio Free Europe, where these recordings were made in August 1954. Many of these recordings, and those of his uncle and other family members can be found on Wolf River Songs, FW04001. See other sheets for song lists and their durations.

Warde had enlisted in the Army, and in 1954 - 1955 was stationed in Munich, Germany, where he was recorded at the studio of Radio Free Europe, where -0690 through -0695 were made August 1954. Includes one song sung by Warde's uncle - Robert Walker. FW-ASCH-7RR-0696 tape box says, "These songs were recorded afresh 3 months after the first 6 tapes." But top of tape box has date of 9/21/55; perhaps that means this tape is a copy of tape made 10 months earlier. Many of these recordings, and those of his uncle and other family members, can be found on Wolf River Songs, FW04001. See FW-ASCH-7RR-0690 through -0693 for additional songs sung by Warde Ford.

FW-ASCH-5RR-0763 is primarily an interview in which Moses Asch interviews a Native American woman of the Shinnecock tribe on Long Island, New York - a tribe of some 600 members and the only one of the 13 tribes originally on Long Island. Also, there is a brief instructional session in which the same lady teaches some children about the history of the tribe, e.g., how the tribe taught early European settlers about offshore whaling (pordor) which the Europeans then further developed. That is followed by a brief interview of a small child by Moses Asch. Probably recorded on Aug. 26, 1957 - date shown on the back of -0764 (see below).
