Abstract:

Wood carving enjoys a rich tradition in North Carolina. Wildlife animals are frequent subjects in the western part of the state, where Cherokees and the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown help keep the craft alive. Derks discusses the work of Cherokee carvers Goingback Chiltosky, Amanda Crowe, and Virgil Ledford.
