Benton, Celia M.

Abstract:

In the early years of the 20th-century, the final event in the corn-growing season was shucking. It was the most convenient way to get the corn ready for storing, and combined the labor of the whole community with the opportunity for socializing. Benton relates some corn shucking stories from Sampson County.
