Overview

Excerpt from Folk-Dances From Old Homelands Had it not been misleading to many people I Should have preferred to name this collection Folk Dances Of Americans, for it contains dances of many Of the peoples who constitute the American People. Since the far-ofl' days Of the early discoverers, explorers and adventurers from Iceland, Norway, Italy, Spain, England, Portugal and other countries, America has been colonized, peopled and developed by emigrants of practically all the nations and races of the world. We are an immigrant nation. Even be fore the signing Of the Declaration of Independence, French, English, Spanish, Dutch, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Swedish, Palatinate German and Finnish colonists Were established here in sufficiently large numbers to have considerable influence on our early history. Other nationalities also were represented in the colonies by smaller groups, and by individuals. Since then, without pause, the tides of home builders from other lands have swept in, wave by wave, and all have brought with them their capacity for Labor, Art and Loyalty, and have made their contributions and done their part toward the making of America - a process that is still going on!
