Frontier Ballads brings the American frontier to life with verse that sounds like the wind across plains and river towns.
Through a sequence of ballads and poems, this edition gathers the grit, courage, and quiet humanity of pioneers, soldiers, cowboys, and townsfolk. The verses move from marching columns to quiet scenes of home and hope, offering snapshots of life on the prairie, border conflicts, and the pull of family and country.
Ideal for readers of American frontier history and historical poetry seeking vivid, character-driven scenes without modern embellishment.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
