Work, Money, and Jobs in the 1930's, Audio Part 2
In this project, Carrie McKay Shelton interviewed her grandmother, Flora Kelly about her life in the 1930s. Though the interview centered around work, money, and jobs, they also covered the topics concerning the Great Depression. Ms. Shelton learned during the interview that her grandmother raised three girls, went to work, and accepted boarders into her home and after the interview had a different perspective of her grandmother’s life and a deeper appreciation for her. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region.

The Depression- For Some, It Just Was Not That Bad
In this project, Genevieve Hall interviewed Robert Lee Boyd Jr, and Versie Phillips about their experiences during the Great Depression. The two had differing experiences from other survivors of the depression because Ms. Phillips grew up on a farm and had everything they needed, while Mr. Boyd’s family owned a store. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

God's Many Helpers: Religion in the 1930's
In this project, Lydia Bryant spoke with the Hurt family of Elliston, Virginia- Terrill Hurt, Carol Hurt, and Lester McLawhorn about religion in the 1930s and how the Great Depression and the war affected religion.

Living in Hard Times. Dora Stanley Life & Experiences in WV Coal Camp2002
In this project, Heather D. Lowe interviewed her mother, Diana Stanley and her grandmother Dora Stanley about the latter’s life. Dora Stanley lived in two coal camps in West Virginia and lived through the Great Depression, so those were the main topics of these interviews, but much was learned about Ms. Lowe’s family in the process. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.

The Daily Eats and Treats in 1930s Appalachia
In this project, Kerri Huff interviewed her grandmother Cova Quesenberry of Buffalo Mountain in Floyd County Virginia, and Anna Kenley from McDowell County, West Virginia about food and cooking in the 1930s. Since the two interviewees were from different states, Ms. Huff assumed they would have different answers to the interview questions and would talk about different foods, but that did not end up being the case. Daily food staples such as beans, bacon and eggs, biscuits etc were described by both. During the interview, Ms. Quesenberry described growing up on a farm and how most all of the farm products they raised and produced were sold to provide the money they needed to survive. Ms. Kenley on the other hand, grew up in a coal mining camp and had a garden that supplied only their family with food. Another interesting similarity between the two women was their assertion that the Great Depression did not much affect them since they were already poor. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.
