Mellie Dunham: A Remembrance Norway Maine Summer Festival, July 2003, David Sanderson
Mellie Dunham: A Remembrance Norway Maine Summer Festival, July 2003, David Sanderson
Maine History Documents
The story of Mellie Dunham continues to fascinate, even some seventy-five years after the events. The tale of the 72-year-old country fiddler invited to play for Henry Ford, made famous by the media, then hugely successful as a vaudeville performer, seems almost too perfect to be true.

This booklet was created to mark Mellie’s 150th birthday, July 29, 2003. We call it …

It may simply be the short supply and relatively poor readability that have caused modern scholars to deny Morton’s work the attention that it deserves. In this edition …
