Catalogued output
Writings and published texts
These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 6 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. Building Bridges to Oral Cultures: dated 2017.
18 editions carry dates between 1961 and 2021
The run opens with Pecos Bill the Greatest Cowboy of all Time and closes with Freed By His Love
