  Alice Morgan Person (1840-1913) fell into hardship after the Civil War but remarkably overcame by selling patent medicine and playing and sharing her arrangements of folk tunes. This title discusses her place in the histories of American patent medicine and southern folk music from an ethnomusicological perspective.
