McMillan, Douglas J.

Abstract:

Eastern North Carolina is one of numerous areas of the United States with an extremely rich heritage of American culture, much of which is still living in the songs and tales of eastern North Carolinians. In order to preserve and study this living culture, the Department of English at East Carolina University established during the 1969-1970 academic year a Folklore Archive. The Archive houses nearly 100 student collections in written and tape form, prepared as class projects.
