Abstract:
During the Great Depression, the Federal Writers' Project employed thousands of writers, editors, researchers and clerical workers to document and record the memories and impressions of American communities, with an emphasized voice given to the worker class.

Abstract:
Following the American Revolution, defeated Loyalists fled to the remote corner of Abaco in The Bahamas. Since then, the descendants of those Loyalists have maintained a population that is racially, culturally, and politically distinct from the other twenty-nine populated islands that make up The Bahamas. The Abaco population more closely resembles isolated communities on Ocracoke and Harkers Island, where the population still speaks with a brogue, resembling the tongue spoken by the earliest Scot-Irish settlers.
