Ledger book, Possibly 1920s

 Series — Volume: 1
Identifier: Series 1.

Scope and Contents

Contains hand-written lyrics of 100 songs. The majority are well-known Ukrainian folk songs, but a number are obscure, or in Lemko dialect or Carpatho-Rusyn. The book is undated, but it may be from the 1920s, based on US postage stamps affixed to the inside front and back covers (Franklin 1908 series 1 cent stamps, and a 10 cent 1894 series Postage Due stamp, which was superceded in 1930). In addition to the song lyrics, it also contains a glossary of military drill commands in Ukrainian and German.
