Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clifton Johnson (January 25, 1865 - January 22, 1940) was an American author, illustrator, and photographer. He published some 125 books in many genres including travel books, children's stories, and biographies, many with his own illustrations and photographs. Even though he received little formal education, Johnson became an accomplished author, photographer, artist, editor, and folklorist. The anthropologist Carl Withers considered him a "skillful and often graceful writer, and ... a foremost pioneer photographer of folk life ... He was gifted to extraordinary degree with a 'listener's ear.' Johnson's involvement with folklore, as collector and reporter and as editor of folktale collections for children, is that of a social anthropologist interested in American folkways and folklore."
