Thơ ca liên quan đến lịch sử Hoa Kỳ tự nhiên chia làm hai loại: loại thứ nhất, có thể nói như vậy, được viết từ bên trong, ngay tại hiện trường; và loại thứ hai được viết từ bên ngoài, tận mãi về sau. Trong loại đầu tiên, "The Star-Spangled Banner" là ví dụ nổi tiếng nhất, đồng thời có lẽ cũng là xuất sắc nhất. Ngay cả trong thời đại muộn màng này, khi đọc lại bài thơ với sự thấu hiểu về những hoàn cảnh đã sinh ra nó, tác phẩm vẫn vẹn nguyên một sức mạnh chạm đến trái tim và khơi gợi trí tưởng tượng, điều phần lớn chứng minh cho giá trị nghệ thuật đích thực của nó. Trong loại thứ hai, "Paul Revere's Ride" có lẽ là tác phẩm được biết đến rộng rãi nhất, dẫu cho "Ballad of the French Fleet" của chính ông Longfellow lại là một bài thơ hay hơn.
Hiển nhiên là khi biên soạn một tuyển tập như thế này, người ta phải dùng những tiêu chuẩn khác nhau để đánh giá hai loại thơ này. Loại thứ nhất, ngoài bất kỳ phẩm chất thơ ca nào mà nó có thể sở hữu, vẫn mang giá trị nhờ ý nghĩa lịch sử hoặc chính trị, nhờ việc nó là sự bộc lộ và diễn giải cho khoảnh khắc đã sinh ra nó. Đối với loại này, giá trị thi ca không phải là ưu tiên hàng đầu, và có lẽ điều đó cũng chẳng sao. Tuy vậy, dù phẩm chất thơ ca có mong manh đến đâu, nhiều bài ballad thời kỳ đầu vẫn sở hữu một nguồn năng lượng đáng ngưỡng mộ, sự trực diện và tính chính xác trong ngôn từ; ẩn chứa trong đó là một sự giản dị ngây thơ điều mà thời đại tinh vi này không sao tái tạo lại được — chẳng hạn như khi Stephen Tilden, trong bài văn bia tưởng niệm Braddock, đã thỉnh cầu những vị tướng lừng lẫy từng bước trước người chiến sĩ bất hạnh ấy xuống mộ rằng:
"Hãy xích lại gần và nhường chỗ cho anh ấy."
Mặt khác, đối với những bài ballad hồi tưởng, phẩm chất thi ca là điều kiện tiên quyết không thể thiếu. Nó mang lại rất ít giá trị về mặt lịch sử, dù cho các sự kiện có chuẩn xác đến đâu. Nó khác biệt với những bài ballad đương thời theo cách mà "New Canterbury Tales" khác với Froissart; hoặc như "Idylls of the King" khác với "Le Morte Arthur". Nó kém phần chân thực, kém sức thuyết phục và kém sức sống hơn. Nó có thể có bầu không khí riêng, nhưng chẳng có cách nào chắc chắn để biết rằng bầu không khí ấy có chuẩn xác hay không. Do đó, nếu bài ballad hiện đại không mang lại điều gì hơn ngoài một lịch sử thuần túy đong đếm bằng vần điệu, thì nó chẳng có mấy sức nặng để được cân nhắc đến.
Đó là hai nguyên tắc mà người biên soạn hiện tại luôn ghi nhớ trong suốt quá trình làm việc. Thế nhưng, nguyên tắc thứ hai đã bị vi phạm không chỉ một lần, bởi vì trong một tuyển tập thế này, người ta phải "liệu cơm gắp mắm"; hay nói đúng hơn, người ta phải đảm bảo rằng mình được che đậy tươm tất, dẫu cho lớp vải che ấy đôi chỗ có phần kém chất lượng hơn. Do đó, để giữ cho mạch lịch sử không bị đứt đoạn, người biên soạn buộc phải dung nạp cả những sợi chỉ chẳng lấy gì làm lụa là; và nếu sự lựa chọn đôi khi rơi vào giải pháp cực chẳng đã thay vì điều hoàn hảo, người biên soạn chỉ có thể hy vọng rằng mình đã chọn đúng đắn.

Phần khó khăn và gian nan nhất trong nhiệm vụ của ông không phải là thu thập tài liệu, mà là cô đọng chúng lại trong những giới hạn hợp lý. Đặc biệt trong giai đoạn thuộc địa, sự cám dỗ muốn đưa vào nhiều hơn nữa những vần thơ đầu kỳ của nước Mỹ là vô cùng lớn. Tác phẩm "A Looking-Glass for the Times" của Peter Folger, "New England's Crisis" của Benjamin Tompson, "God's Controversy with New England" của Michael Wigglesworth, "Sot-Weed Factor", cùng nhiều tác phẩm khác mà việc nhắc tên ở đây chẳng khác nào gợi lại một nỗi buồn xưa cũ, chỉ bị loại bỏ sau những cuộc tranh luận dài dẵng và gay gắt. Chắc chắn rằng sẽ có những sự bỏ sót khác bị nhận ra bởi hầu như bất kỳ độc giả nào của cuốn sách — và họ có thể cảm thấy thú vị khi biết rằng số lượng tài liệu thu thập được ban đầu vốn dĩ đủ để làm ra bốn cuốn sách dày dặn như thế này.
Mạch chuyện dùng để xâu chuỗi các bài thơ lại với nhau đã được giữ lại ở mức tối giản nhất có thể, vừa đủ mạnh mẽ để dẫn dắt độc giả đi từ bài thơ này sang bài thơ tiếp theo một cách dễ hiểu. Các chú thích cũng chỉ giới hạn ở việc giải thích những điển tích khó lòng tìm thấy trong các tác phẩm tra cứu thông thường, đôi khi kèm theo lời thuật lại về hoàn cảnh đã thúc đẩy những vần thơ ra đời, hoặc chỉ ra nguồn gốc trong trường hợp nguồn gốc ấy không mấy phổ biến. Mọi nguồn tài liệu khả dĩ đều đã được khai thác — từ tác phẩm của những nhà thơ nổi tiếng hơn cho đến rất nhiều nhà thơ tiểu học người Mỹ và người Anh, các tuyển tập, các ấn phẩm báo chí, tạp chí, các bộ sưu tập về văn hóa châu Mỹ và đặc biệt là các tờ truyền đơn — tóm lại là thơ ca Anh và Mỹ nói chung.
Nhân dịp này, người biên soạn xin bày tỏ lòng biết ơn sâu sắc đối với sự hỗ trợ đã nhận được từ mọi phía, đặc biệt là từ ông Herbert Putnam và cô Margaret McGuffey thuộc Thư viện Quốc gia; ông N. D. C. Hodges, thủ thư Thư viện Công cộng Cincinnati, Ohio; ông C. B. Galbreath, thủ thư Thư viện Tiểu bang Ohio; ông Charles F. Lummis, thủ thư Thư viện Công cộng Los Angeles, California; Tiến sĩ Edward Everett Hale, ông William Henry Venable, ông Isaac R. Pennypacker, ông Arthur Guiterman và ông Wallace Rice. Ông cũng xin bổ sung rằng đây là một niềm hạnh phúc cá nhân sâu sắc đối với ông khi không có bất kỳ tác giả nào từ chối cho phép sử dụng tác phẩm của họ trong tuyển tập này. Ngược lại, rất nhiều người trong số họ đã đưa ra những góp ý vô cùng hữu ích.
Một nỗ lực đặc biệt đã được thực hiện nhằm đảm bảo tính chính xác của văn bản — đây không phải là một nhiệm vụ nhẹ nhàng, nhất là với những bài ballad cổ. Khi văn bản có sự khác biệt, như vẫn thường xảy ra, bản nào mang thẩm quyền cao hơn đã được tuân theo, ngoại trừ việc những lỗi in ấn rõ ràng đã được đính chính. Trong việc này, người biên soạn đã nhận được sự cộng tác từ The Riverside Press, và đã có nhiều dịp bày tỏ sự thán phục trước sự cẩn trọng cùng vốn hiểu biết của người hiệu đính và các trợ lý của ông.
