In this project, Dana Stevenson interviewed Ray Dickerson, who grew up on what is now the Selu Conservancy on the Radford University campus. During the interview, Mr. Dickerson spoke of pranks he and his brother would play on other residents of the area, games they played, and about early preservation efforts made on the property and gave general information about growing up at what is now known as Selu. 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.
