From the Rockefeller Archive Center: Leonard Outhwaite, 1892-1979, worked as a consultant, an anthropologist, and an author. Mr. Outhwaite was a staff member of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial from 1923 to 1928 where one of his fields of interest was American race relations. George Foster Peabody was raised in Columbus, Georgia and moved to New York shortly after the Civil War. George became a banker and philanthropist. He was a social activist and a major benefactor to the University of Georgia. The Peabody award for excellence in Journalism was named after George Foster Peabody. George Foster Peabody also had an association with the author of this book. The author, Nicholas G.J. Ballanta (1893-1962), was a Sierra Leonean music scholar, composer and educator who conducted field research of the music of West Africa in the early 20th century. His education in European music influenced his musical compositions. The years he spent collecting indigenous African music prompted him to compose musical plays or operas set in African villages; his work combines elements from both African and European music.George Foster Peabody persuaded Ballanta to visit Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina to better understand the music of African Americans. While visiting the Penn School in South Carolina, Ballanta "showed a peculiar facility in quickly and accurately transcribing the Spirituals as he heard them sung by the pupils."[7] Ballanta's collection of 103 spirituals was published by G. Schirmer in 1925 as Saint Helena Island Spirituals. Peabody funded Ballanta's field research from 1924 to 1926 in the Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast (Ghana), and Nigeria. In 1926 he returned to the US, reporting "I traveled about 7000 miles of country in West Africa on research work, during which time I collected over 2000 examples of African songs."[5] (wikipedia).
