With Fiddle and Well-Rosined Bow:
A History of Old-Time
Fiddling in Alabama
By Joyce Cauthen,
University of Alabama Press.

 

 Now in paperback, this book originally published in 1989, relies on extensive archival research and sixty interviews to tell the rich, full story of old-time fiddling in Alabama from its settlement until WWII. It focuses on the "modest masters of fiddle and bow" as well as Alabama’s better-known "brag fiddlers," and gives details about old-style square dances, Fourth of July barbecues and fiddlers’ conventions.
