An easy-to-use guide to American regional folklore with advice on conducting research, regional essays, and a selective annotated bibliography.
American Regional Folklore begins with a chapter on library research, including how to locate a library suitable for folklore research, how to understand a library's resources, and how to construct a research strategy. Mood also gives excellent advice on researching beyond the library: locating and using community resources like historical societies, museums, fairs and festivals, storytelling groups, local colleges, newspapers and magazines, and individuals with knowledge of the field.
The rest of the book is divided into eight sections, each one highlighting a separate region (the Northeast, the South and Southern Highlands, the Midwest, the Southwest, the West, the Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii). Each regional section contains a useful overview essay, written by an expert on the folklore of that particular region, followed by a selective, annotated bibliography of books and a directory of related resources.
Fully annotated bibliographies on the folklore of each of eight regions of the United States
Engaging overview essays by folklore scholars introduce each of the U.S. regions covered
A list of literary authors who incorporate folklore themes in their writings, together with a brief list of some of their major works
A list of folklore-related museums, with addresses and phone numbers, a list of folklore journals, and, when possible, a list of websites
