Summary
"In this illustrated history, Philip Gura and James Bollman chart the evolution of "America's instrument," the five-stringed banjo, from its primitive folk origins through its rise to the very pinnacle of American popular culture. Along the way, they offer unparalleled insight into the music business in nineteenth-century America."--Jacket
