Carols of the Coast: A Collection of Songs, Ballads and Legends is a book written by Moses Hardy Nickerson in 1892. The book is a compilation of traditional songs, ballads, and legends that originated from the coastal regions of North America. The author, a native of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, collected the material from his own experiences and from various sources, including oral traditions, written records, and personal interviews.The book is divided into four main sections, each featuring a different type of material. The first section consists of Christmas carols, hymns, and songs that were sung by the people of the coast during the holiday season. The second section includes ballads and songs that tell stories of the sea, shipwrecks, and other maritime adventures. The third section features legends and tales that were passed down through generations of coastal communities, including stories of pirates, ghosts, and supernatural events. The final section of the book includes a collection of miscellaneous songs and ballads, including love songs, lullabies, and humorous songs.Throughout the book, Nickerson provides historical context and background information for each song, ballad, or legend, as well as notes on the origins and variations of each piece. The book also includes musical notation for many of the songs, allowing readers to perform and enjoy the music themselves.Overall, Carols of the Coast is a fascinating and comprehensive collection of traditional music and folklore from the coastal regions of North America. It provides a unique glimpse into the cultural heritage of these communities and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in traditional music, folklore, or the history of the North American coast.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
