Bartis Research Assistant American Folklife Center July 6, 1978 s?oa.<3- Si 8us/ sll7hi c^ 3*1 ] INTRODUCTION: 0 % PURPOSE AND SCOPE INTRODUCTION: PURPOSE AND SCOPE This paper is designed to supply supportive data and reference materials to fieldworkers and researchers involved in the Blue Ridge Parkway Folklife Project. The Blue Ridge Mountains lie on the eastern edge of the Appalachians and run from Pennsylvania to Georgia. This majestic range, so t.?ten wrapped in a bluish haze, has been the inspiration for voluminous texts of both creative and academic strains. Of these materials we are examining only a fraction, and only those that shed light on the life, lore, and history of a segment of the range. The research team will be examining the traditional culture of an area that can be described roughly as the central Blue Ridge region, with intensive focus on an area straddling the Virginia- North Carolina border. While representative folklife of the Blue Ridge area has been copiously documented in the past, a coordinated guide offering information on the whereabouts, types, and formats of such materials appears not to be available. The Southern Mountain region is often regarded as a homo¬ geneous collection of people of similar heritage and culture, and additionally as a culturally static and economically depressed region of the United States. Careful examination of the numerous individual studies that have emerged in recent years dispels such notions, and we are encouraged to study the region's variety on a sub-regional level. - 2 - As early as 1939, in his introduction to These Are Our Lives, a work prepared by the Federal Writers' Project in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, W. T. Couch was encouraging a more acute focus on detail. The life of a community or of a people is, of course, made up of the life of individuals, who are of different status, perform different functions, and in general have widely different experiences and attitudes—so different, indeed, as to be almost unimaginable, (p. x) Couch's is a plea for community studies. Since his writing, study of the life within a community or group of related communities has become mere important in Appalachian research. Yet there are striking similarities in the Southern Mountains, and it is the similarities that have received attention since the earliest general studies. It was necessary to examine a wide body of these general but informative texts, due to the paucity of available material which addresses exclusively the culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pertinent data falls under larger categories, including "Appalachian," "Southern Mountain," "Southern Highlands," and "Upland South," in addition to materials organized by state—Virginia and North Carolina. Maiy works provide information on the Blue Ridge, but few focus on the Blue Ridge alone. Even the most recent and seminal body of material, in the special issue of the Appalachian Journal entitled A Guide to Appalachian Studies, continues to lump "mountain culture" THE REGION - 4 - THE REGION What is the Blue Ridge? The Blue Ridge Region extends from southern Pennsylvania to northern Georgia and lies between the Ridge and Valley Region of the Appalachians on the west and the Piedmont Plateau on the east. The general elevation is around 2,500 feet. Its rich valley bottoms offer excellent farmland. Oak-hickory forest dominates the entire Blue Ridge Region; among the leading varieties are white, red, scarlet chestnut, and black oak, and pignut, shagbark, and mockernut hickories Pine stands usually indicate younger forest where fire occurred, where land was once cleared, or where soil is too sandy for hardwoods. The desirable and useful American chestnut was a major part of the Appalachian economy until the blight of Asiatic fungus between 1910 and 1913 which destroyed millions of the trees. The chestnut tree, used by Native Americans and settlers alike, provided chestnuts for subsistence, split-rail fences, shake shingling, huge timber bearjis, and cash from selling tannin extracted from its bark and chestnuts. When the chestnut forest was destroyed, a key factor in the regional ecosphere was lost. This event, along with the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the 1930s, might be seen as the beginning of the modern era in this part of the United States. - 5 - The Blue Ridge and its relationship to the Appalachians and the Southern Highlands Geographically the Blue Ridge is the main eastern range of the Appalachian mountain system. The focus of our study is the area where the ridge expands from a narrow sharp rise to broader plateaus with peaks, valleys, and deep ravines. The Blue Ridge also forms part of a cultural area often referred to as the "Southern Highlands." The term was first applied by John Campbell, who "isolated a part of the Great Appalachian Province which extends from New York to Central Alabama." For a lengthy discussion of regional boundaries readers should refer to the early pages in Campbell's The Southern Highlander and His Homeland.

  • Voices of Feminism Oral History Project: Roma, Catherine
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA CATHERINE ROMA Interviewed by JOYCE FOLLET June 19 and 20, 2005 Northampton, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2006 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Catherine Roma was born in Philadelphia January 29, 1948, the youngest of three children of Italian-born parents. Her mother completed high school and, once married, was a community volunteer. Her father graduated from Princeton University and Temple Law School, but when his own father died young, he left legal practice to run the family’s barbershops in Philadelphia and other East Coast railroad terminals. Practicing Catholics, Catherine’s parents sent her to Germantown Friends School K-12; she remains a Convinced Friend. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roma earned a BA in music and an MM in Choral Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she became involved in socialist-feminist politics and began organizing a feminist choral group in 1974. Returning to Philadelphia the following year to teach music at Abington Friends School, she organized and conducted Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the US. In 1983 she undertook the doctorate in musical arts at the University of Cincinnati, where she founded MUSE, the community chorus she continues to lead. Under Roma’s leadership, MUSE is a vital group in what has become a national and international grassroots movement of women’s choruses. MUSE is recognized as a model anti-racist community organization and a progressive force in Cincinnati politics.

  • Buffalo, New York 51
    Buffalo, New York 51 BUFFALO, NEW YORK Population Rank: U.S..... # 58 New York...... # 2 Proportions: 5:8 (official) Adopted: 7 May 1924 (official) DESIGN: The field of Buffalo’s flag is dark blue with a central image in white. In the center is the city seal, from which emanate thirteen rays (“electric flashes”) of three jagged sections each similar to the con- ventional depiction of lightning flashes. Between each pair of flashes is a five-pointed star, point outwards. The seal itself has a narrow ring around the outside edge. The seal’s field is white with blue figures. In the upper half, from the hoist, are a lighthouse on a pier, a three-masted ship under full sail (bow toward the hoist), and a small sailboat. The top of the pier and the surface of the water on which the ship and boat are sailing (Lake Erie) form the bisecting line. The waters of the lake occupy about a third of the top of the seal’s lower half. The remainder shows a shoreline, below which the old Erie Canal is seen, with a canal boat (also headed toward the hoist) being drawn by two horses or don- 52 American City Flags keys, one ahead of the other. The rear animal has a human figure riding it. The lower edge of the canal has a fence running along it, and below are shrubs, filling in the remainder of the seal. The Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo (1974) specifies the offi- cial dimensions: Said flag in dimensions shall be five (5) feet wide by eight (8) feet long, or a flag of other dimensions may be used if the width and length and the follow- ing elements are of similar proportions.

  • American City Flags, Part 1
    Akron, Ohio 1 Akron, Ohio Population Rank: U.S..... # 81 Ohio...... # 5 Proportions: 3:5 (usage) Adopted: March 1996 (official) DESIGN: Akron’s flag has a white field with the city seal in the center. The seal features an American shield, which recalls the design of the All-America City program’s shield, awarded to cities meeting the pro- gram criteria. Akron’s shield is divided roughly into thirds horizontally. At the top of the shield are two rows of five white five-pointed stars on a dark blue field. In the center section is AKRON in black on white. The lower third displays six red and five white vertical stripes. Around the shield and the white field on which it rests is a dark blue ring on which 1981-ALL-AMERICA CITY-1995 curves clockwise above, and CITY OF INVENTION curves counterclockwise below, all in white. 2 American City Flags SYMBOLISM: Akron, having twice won the distinction of “All-America City” (in 1981 and 1995), has chosen to pattern its seal to commemo- rate that award.

BILL LOWE AND THE MUSIC OF EASTERN APPALACHIA A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Heidi Baldwin McKee May 2013 Accepted by: Dr. Paul Anderson, Committee Chair Dr. Rod Andrew Dr. Alan Grubb ABSTRACT As the twentieth century progressed with radio and communications technology, the culture of the Appalachian mountains became an unexplored resource of vast cultural proportions. The Old Regular Baptist faith of the mountains had influenced creative thinkers in the area for generations, and the coming of settlement schools brought secular evaluation from outside the culture. As the people living in the mountains began to understand the uniqueness of their musical heritage, radio technology was becoming available on a much larger scale than ever before. Singers and songwriters from the mountains found eager audiences on a national level. One of these musicians was Bill Lowe, of Pike County, Kentucky. His early experiences with music clashed with his family’s belief system and he found himself caught up in the contradictions of southern spirituality.

  • 8 Representations of Literacy and Region: Narrating "Another America"
    8 Representations of Literacy and Region: Narrating "Another America" Peter Mortensen University of Kentucky In late autumn 1989, CBS News dispatched its 48 Hours production crew to the mountains of eastern Kentucky The crew spent several days there documenting life in a remote Floyd County hollow, a place that maps call Muddy Gut and that CBS labeled "another America." A damning recital of statistics punctuated the 48 Hours broadcast: among other social ills, unemployment and teenage marriage were said to exceed national averages. And the adult illiteracy rate, too, warranted attention for supposedly being abnormally high. "Forty-six percent of the people in Floyd County... cannot read," frowned correspondent Doug Tunnell, his tone implicating illiteracy as a chief source of the hollow's woes, The narrative logic is clear here: No wonder Muddy Gut suffers such economic and moral privation. If only its people could read and write, they might get real jobs, earn a little self-respect, and stop marrying so young. No doubt economic times are tough in Muddy Gut. The same can be said for communities throughout central and southern Appalachia. Coal has gone bust again, perhaps for the last time. And the regional infrastructure coal built cannot now support the service economy that has kept afloat many a rural town throughout America—though often at the expense of distinctive local culture. More and better literacy cannot single-handedly forestall the economic crisis facing eastern Kentucky and places like it. Yet public discourse (witness 48 Hours) again and again points to literacy as the particular technology that can restore all other technologies: better reading, better writing, better roads, better paycheck, better life.
