Growing Up on Guinea Mountain
In this project, Brittany Moye interviewed sisters Marie Holt and Lillian Perkins, both residents of Guinea Mountain in Pearisburg, Virginia. During the interview, the two talked of growing up in that small community and discussed details of daily life including clothing, food, cooking, Christmas and many other topics. 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.
