http://www.deltablues.net/lead.html this is a story with maps and photos about Lead Belly gravesite. Written Nov. 1997
http://www.bozosoft.com/mike/writings/leadbelly.html A paper that was pubished on the internet with a bibliography. This is a rather amateur job from 1994. It is more a synopsis of the writings of John and Alan Lomax. This kind of poor scholarship has been superceded by the excellent work that Sean Killen and the Lead Belly Society has done over thelast few years.
