Abstract:

Tony Peacock is a six-time champion of the National Hollerin' Contest in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina. His talent and those of others who participate in the contest keep the tradition of communicative hollers alive. These hollers were often used to signal specific events, call animals in, and request assistance in the rural areas of North Carolina.
