A distinguished scholar and writer who, in the words of H. L. Mencken, "put the study of American English on its legs," Louise Pound (1872-1958) was always intensely interested in the folklore of her home state. Nebraska Folklore, first published in 1959, collects her best work in that rich vein.

Included are cave legends, snake superstitions, weather lore, tales of strong men who rival Paul Bunyan, stories of Indian lovers' leaps, hoaxes of a petrified man and a land-locked sea monster, and the legends of Weeping Water and Lincoln Salt Basin. A section on old Nebraska folk customs provides a wealth of information about holiday observances, literary and debating societies, political rallies, spelling contests, and various social traditions. Going beyond Nebraska, the book ends with studies of the origins of American cowboy and folk songs and of the use of dialect in folklore. Its wit and honesty will appeal to readers everywhere. Roger Welsch provides an introduction to this new Bison Books edition.

It definitely calms eczema.
I love this stuff. However, my bottle came with no sprayer top. I asked Amazon to send me a top, and they would not unless I returned the whole bottle. I didn't want to have to go through the hassle so I just bastardized another bottle with the same kind of sprayer, washed it, and used it on this.

Highly recommend to those without eczema too.
I don’t have eczema so take my review in that context. I find this very soothing where ever I apply it to my skin. Pleasant smell. I’ve purchased multiple times.
