Cigar Store Figures in American Folk Art

Perhaps the title of our work should be "Hunting Wooden Indians in a Greyhound Bus." We were compelled to travel between Indiana (Pendergast's state) and Tennessee (Ware's) so that the co-authorship of the volume would remain "co." As a by-product of our search, we discovered that bus drivers have a gal friend in some restaurant along the way and that a traveller's hunger is satisfied rarely at the Duncan Hines level. But to return to Indians : we claim to be the only writers who have escaped the word "tepee" or "lo" in discussing this subject. Moreover, we are so tired of the overworked chapter arrangement of books that we have divided ours into four quarters.
