Abstract:
The story of \"Jack and the Beanstalk\" is widely known throughout the United States and England. However, few people outside of the Southern Appalachians realize that Jack is also the hero of dozens of other wonder stories. These stories, called \"Jack Tales\" are especially numerous in northwestern North Carolina.
