Abstract:
Walter and Ray Davenport of Tyrrell County received a 1999 Brown-Hudson Folklore Award for being representative of a community's traditional reliance on water and the work of their own hands. The Davenports have fished local waters since the 1950s and are known for their skill in using pound nets. Hemming describes their life on the waters and knowledge acquired after nearly fifty years as fishermen.
