Abstract:
While growing up by the sea at Beaufort, Borden Mace spoke the English for which the area is noted. After a distinguished career in educational film production, Mace was lured to the helm of the Appalachian Consortium with headquarters on the campus of Appalachian State University at Boone. In his travels in Appalachia he became acquainted with the folk speech of the region, nothing that, like the speech of coastal Carolina, it possessed a Middle English flavor. Fascinated by the lore and speech ways of the Appalachia, Mace published the first recent history of Western North Carolina and a collection of mountain speech and idiom in BITS OF MOUNTAIN SPEECH.
