Yiddish Songs of the Gaslight Era Jane Peppler

Thirty-nine Yiddish songs with the beautiful period sheet music cover art, with melodies and chords for piano, guitar, etc. and with transliterations and translations. These songs were popular among the Jews of Manhattan's Lower East Side around the turn of the 20th century and were found in box of songsheets (sold by street peddlers) at Hebrew Union College.
