Chauncey Richmond & "The Old Buckbee" tells the musical micro-history stories of (1) an 1885 banjo and its restoration years after its discovery in crumbling, filth-encrusted condition ; (2) the banjo maker, the resolutely anonymous John Henry Buckbee (1837-1890), and his high-volume, no-name banjo factory in the Bronx, N.Y.; and (3) the banjo player, Chauncey Richmond (1872-1910), a modest farmer and rural mail carrier in North Stonington, Conn. who became an unlikely vaudeville impresario in the years before his death at age 37. Along the way, the three focused studies, illuminated by social, economic, and technological context, yield useful insights into the essence of historical research, evidence, and conclusions.
