About the Book



"A comprehensive guide to American Indian images featured on over 600 colorful song sheet covers"--



Book Synopsis



Bridging the genres of music, art illustration, collectible song sheets, Native American history and American popular culture, this book is definitive in its scope and coverage. It is the first comprehensive guide to American Indian images featured on over 700 colorful song sheet covers. Its preface discusses the art and history of sheet music publishing and gives due recognition to earlier authors and books in the field. The introduction addresses the American public's views of American Indians and the extent to which those views were reflected in popular illustrated sheet music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book presents song sheets in their historical context, incorporating insights of experts on American Indians and sheet music. Many of the song sheet descriptions include commentaries touching on history, American culture and popular illustration. As such, the book will be of interest to sheet music collectors, scholars of Native Americans, art historians, students of American cultural history, musicologists, and fans of illustrative art. It includes a Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography of Sheet Music Books and a Listing of Illustrators of American Indian Song Sheets. Always engaging, informative and clearly presented, readers will find the book a delight to read.



Review Quotes




"This is a great resource to allow students, scholars, and enthusiasts to examine depictions, stereotypes, and attitudes towards American Indians. The songs are well contextualized within the broader scope of popular culture and sheet music production, and the book is well organized around chronologic and thematic elements."

-Sam Bessen, Eleanor and Lester Levy Family Curator of Sheet Music and Popular Culture, Special Collections, Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University.

"Music and art about the American West are witnesses to the evolving popular perception of the American Indian. A particularly valuable but often overlooked resource in this regard is the vast amount of illustrated sheet music which featured American Indian themes and characters. Frank Tinari has assembled these sheet music covers into the first exhaustive and easily accessible catalog, drawing from his own extensive collection, and other public and private sources."

-S. Mark Clardy, docent and blog series author, "The Soundtrack of the American West," Sid Richardson Museum, Fort Worth, Texas
