The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. "Jackson argued that Tennesseans in the Antebellum South were "far more musically active" than after the war. He added that many people used to attend singing schools, and he blamed the lack of musical training on the radio, which discouraged people from learning to sing in the postbellum era. Additionally, Jackson argued that Negro spirituals took their origin from poor whites who sang old folk songs from England. During the 1940s, he studied the roots of anabaptist music (Amish and Mennonite). He proposed the now generally accepted view that the original tunes used in Der Ausbund hymnal were popular medieval melodies. Der Ausbund is still used by Amish groups and has the distinction of being the hymnal with a history of the longest continual use (1564 to the present; the latest edition being published in 1999).
