Abstract:

Folktales play an important role in North Carolina's history. Authors such as John Charles McNeil, Joel Chandler Harris, and Dr. Frank Brown have collected and written about the state's folklore. Focusing on eastern North Carolina, Proctor discusses many of the legends he heard growing up. Folklore topics such as moon cycles, crop planting, animals, love charms, and marriage rituals are treated.
