A native of London, Kentucky, Dr Katherine Jackson French (Ph.D. Columbia University, 1906) collected over 60 British Isle ballads in the hills of Kentucky in 1909 & attempted to publish them in 1910 with the help of Berea College, an endeavour that never came to pass due to an intriguing tangle of motives, gender biases, wavering support from her hoped-for patron, & ruthlessness on the part of fellow collectors. (Her ballad collection, 'English-Scottish Ballads from the Hills of Kentucky,' sees publication here at last). An unwitting participant in the Ballad Wars of the early 20th Century, French went on to a full professorship at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, where she was also the co-founder of the Woman's Department Club & President of the UUAW. This text sets the story of Jackson's life against the backdrop of the social upheaval of the early 20th century.
