This book traces the lives of the Snowdens, an African American family of musicians and farmers living in rural Knox County, Ohio. Howard L. Sacks and Judith Rose Sacks examine the Snowdens' musical and social exchanges with rural whites from the 1850s through the early 1920s and carefully explore the claim that the Snowden family taught the song "Dixie" to Dan Emmett - the white musicians and blackface minstrel usually credited with writing it. This edition features a new introduction in which the authors discuss the public response to this controversial claim and present new information on the Snowdens' musical and social experiences.
