This series consists mainly of a draft (in English) of Combs' thesis, Folks Songs Du Midi Des Etats Unis (Folk-songs of the Southern United States) presented at the Sorbonne (University of Paris), November 1925. Included also is the English text of Combs’ formal defense which is essentially an introduction and summary of his work.
