Born in Washington, D. C., Harriet Elizabeth "Hally"
Wood (1922-1989) was the daughter of a U.S. Army doctor, who retired in San Antonio,
Texas. While studying music at the University of Texas at Austin, she met John and
Alan Lomax, and in 1940, she married John Henry Faulk, with whom she had one
daughter. Following the end of World War II, Wood moved to New York City to work
with such folk musicians as Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, and Pete Seeger. After
divorcing Faulk in 1947, she married Spanish Civil War veteran Lou Gordon. Returning
to Austin in 1953, Wood divorced Gordon and earned her bachelor’s degree while
transcribing field recordings for the Lomaxes. She once again moved to New York
City, performing with the Skifflers and other musicians. Upon moving to Puerto Rico
in the late 1950s, Wood married Robert Clarence McCleod Stevenson, professor at the
University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras.
