The publication of Folk Songs of the South in 1925 was a climax of his achievement in collecting and preserving Folk Literature not only in West Virginia but in the whole Appalachian region. He translated and adapted for childrens use tales of chivalry from Old English, Old French, and Middle High German sources. Among these are Beowulf, A Knight of Artur`s Court, The Song of Roland and Siegfried. Dr. Cox was widely known through his writings in scholarly journals and his work in teachers` institutes in West Virginia and other states.'
