Stith Thompson (1885ETH1976), often called the father of U.S. folklore, completed "A Folklorist's Progress" in 1956. This reflection on his life leads the reader on a journey from his birthplace in Kentucky to the universities of Wisconsin, Harvard, California, Texas, and finally Indiana University. Throughout his career he interacted with scholars throughout the world. His life story reveals his influence on the direction American folklore scholarship in this century. His influence moved the study of folklore from a romantic approach to a 'scientific' approach.He helped establish folklore on firm academic footing. One of the most important results of his research efforts is the now classic Motif-Index of Folklore-Literature. This published edition of "A Folklorist's Progress" is enhanced with photographs and facsimiles, excerpts from his wife Louise Thompson's travel diaries, and glosses identifying the main accomplishments of some fifty folklorists and kindred scholars mentioned in the text. Based at the Indiana University Folklore Institute, the editors of "A Folklorist's Progress" include John H.McDowell, Professor of Folklore, Inta Gale Carpenter, Associate Director of Special Projects, Donald Braid, a recent graduate of the doctoral program and Adjunct Professor at Butler University, and Erika Peterson-Veatch, a doctoral candidate.
