This project, by Courtney Jameson focuses on Lighthouse Bridge, in Pulaski County, Virginia. This bridge was at one time important because people needed it to get from their homes near Claytor Lake to other parts of Pulaski County. The informants in this project, Bucky, Pete, and Charles O’Dell, as well as Wally Brockmeyer had lived near the bridge and had a lot of first hand information about it including information about its construction, deaths associated with the bridge, and a memorable catfish that lived near it. 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. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.
