Excerpt from The Folk-Lorist, 1892: Journal of the Chicago Folk-Lore Society This Society was formed in December, 1891, for the pur pose Oi collecting, preserving, studying and publishing traditional literature, especially, that of this country, west Of the Alleghenies. Its progress so far has been encouraging, and it is now established on a footing that insures its useful ness. This is the second regular publication of the Society, not including the pamphlet containing the by-laws. The first was the Manual prepared for the Society by its Secretary. The present number is, it is hoped, but the precursor Of a reg ular publication, which may be a useful one to folk-lorists and to science in general. The Society hopes for and invites the cooperation of other folk-lore Societies, and of all those interested in folk-lore. There is abundant traditional lore to be gathered in this Western country, and much that is fast disappearing. This Society encourages the collection of such material, important to the study Of the history Of mankind, and in its bearings upon the many problems of life. We have now correspondents in South America, in Mexico, in Europe, and in Asia, and it should be the duty of every member to secure the cooperation of all those whom inclination leads to the study of folk-lore, and who are so situated as to gather material from other parts of the world. The Secretary will promptly respond to all communications on the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"American Folklore Scholarship is rich reading, outlining the intellectual genealogy of American folklore and delivering many interesting historical tidbits. Folklore teachers will want to use this book in their introductory theory classes, while doctoral students will want to memorize the book before their qualifying exams." --Folklore Forum "... a welcome overview of the discipline in North America and the practitioners who established it." --American Anthropologist In this classic text, Zumwalt examines the split between literary folklorists and anthropological folklorists. The former looked at literary forms for folklore; the latter looked at the life and unwritten culture of the people. This struggle shaped the study of folklore in the U.S.
