Abstract:

Of the many folktales collected in the northeastern counties of North Carolina, there are but two that tell of the exploits and adventures of John, the well-known mythic hero of mountain lore. Of these, and perhaps both, went against the folklore current, and moved eastward from the mountains onto the coastal plains.
