Looking back, abundant data exist from states like Connecticut and Massachusetts to show that by 1840 the incidence of complex literacy in the United States was between 93 and 100 percent wherever such a thing mattered.

Writing a book subtitled "Southern Folk Culture" is an ambitious undertaking. Fortunately, John Burrison recognized the wide scope of the topic and narrowed his focus to a study of specific folk traditions found throughout the South in general by providing a specific focus on his own research on Georgia's traditional culture. Burrison's book is an interesting presentation of variations on the theme that folklife is a vibrant resource that profoundly shapes and expresses southern culture. Roots of a Region is not an exhaustive treatment of these topics. It is an accessible introduction to the study of southern folklore, written in an accessible style that presents academic research to readers with a non-specialized interest in folk culture.
