When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of
tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in
unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and
rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used
up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grasslands and prairies were ploughed and
harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost
every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were
slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from

factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some
mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans

Like other folk arts, folk music has been passed on primarily by word of mouth. Because it is not
fixed in writing, folk music is free to change as it travels from person to person, generation to generation,
and even country to country.
A folk music tradition is the characteristic expression of a group or community of people. Folk
music traditions tend to have long histories, even though new songs and tunes are always being added and
old ones dropped. Folk music thus has the unique quality of being both old and new at the same time.
