American War Ballads

Having origins that date as far back as the Middle Ages, starting from 450 to 1450, ballads are one of the many forms of literary expressions that continue to remain in our world of academics.

In our Rare Books Collection you will find books, of varying sizes and lengths, that span from ballads (such as this exhibit), to old songs written in Old English. 

This exhibit will seek to show and interpret, on a deeper level, the origins of famous American ballads from the start of Colonial America up until the American Civil War.
