The following description  taken from catalog record:

“Bascom Lamar Lunsford loved Appalachian music and dance. Rooted in Scotch/English, African-American, Native American and other cultures, it is a rare amalgamation of styles that reflects the melting pot of America. Early in the 1920s, Lunsford sensed that Appalachian rural folk art might become an endangered species. As a pioneer folklorist, Lunsford began a campaign to preserve the unique music and dance of the people of Appalachia, giving them a dignity they never had before... . This colorful musical film, which shows an abundant variety of Appalachian music and dance, is a tribute to Lunsford's vision." Notes: Edited by Suzanne Milligan. Written by Sherry Albado. Narrated by Alan Blevis. Camera by Gary Steele.”

Interviews include: Obray Ramsey, Berta Frady, Artus Moser, Alan Lomax.
