A distinguished scholar and writer who, in the words of H. L. Mencken, "put the study of American English on its legs," Louise Pound (1872-1958) was always intensely interested in the folklore of her home state. Nebraska Folklore, first published in 1959, collects her best work in that rich vein.

Included are cave legends, snake superstitions, weather lore, tales of strong men who rival Paul Bunyan, stories of Indian lovers' leaps, hoaxes of a petrified man and a land-locked sea monster, and the legends of Weeping Water and Lincoln Salt Basin. A section on old Nebraska folk customs provides a wealth of information about holiday observances, literary and debating societies, political rallies, spelling contests, and various social traditions. Going beyond Nebraska, the book ends with studies of the origins of American cowboy and folk songs and of the use of dialect in folklore. Its wit and honesty will appeal to readers everywhere. Roger Welsch provides an introduction to this new Bison Books edition.

Thin material
The material is a little thin. Even though these pillow covers are lined with a satin type material they are still a little see through. I tried to insert another pillow I had that had a print on it but you could see the other pillow through it. If you use a plain while pillow insert these should be ok.

Cozy and Elegant
Love the fabric and the design. Elegant looking and cozy. I chose the light color to brighten up the couch. It’s a nice contrast with a dark shade of sofa, and gives a bright clean vibe with light colored couches. Made is of good quality and the zipper looks sturdy.

Nice and Soft throw pillow covers
The pattern on this pillow cover looks more luxurious in person than compared to the pictures. This is because there is a texture to it that is wonderful and is not very perceptible through a screen. It is very soft to the touch, and it feels good. Plush and padded. Easy care, I machine washed cold with white items only and hang dry. No wrinkles coming out of the washer.
