Titles in the American Folkways Series
Arranged alphabetically by title.

Credit for the inspiration and initial development of The American Folkways Series belongs completely to the efforts of Erskine Caldwell.  He used his own popularity as a novelist as a bargaining chip to "encourage" the publisher Duell, Sloan and Pearce to produce the series under Caldwell's editorial eye.   A total of 28 books in the series were published.  Each book in the series focused on a unique, different area of the country each provoking an appreciation of regional consciousness and preserving the historical basis for the folkways of America.  For those wishing to know more about this series we can refer readers to the May, 1998 issue of Firsts Magazine for a 13 page article on the subject.  The list which follows represents only a short sampling of the books in the entire series.
