Alexander Haggerty Krappe
Alexander Haggerty Krappe (1894-1947) was a folklorist and author. Along with Francis Peabody Magoun he was the first translator of folktales collected by the Brothers Grimm into the English language. In his book The Science of Folklore he stated that "Folklore is a historical science, having its own methods of research and admitting of the same system of checks and verifications as any other. With its sister sciences it may combine to make up the cycle of our knowledge of man's past life. From this follows that it may assume the rank of an ancillary science to any or all of them, and it has done so repeatedly, notably to the various philogies, history, ethnography, and the history of religion."[1]
