Decoration Day in the Mountains
-
Decoration Day is a widespread folk tradition extending from the east of the Appalachians to west and southwest of the Ozarks. The interviewers of Stories of Mountain Folk set out to interview members of the Western North Carolina mountains about Decoration Day in an effort to forever capture and share our traditions of honoring the grave sites of our loved ones. Herewith are stories from the mountain folk, including the Cherokee, about how we celebrate Decoration Day in the mountains. People included in this podcast are: Alan Jabbour & Karen Singer Jabbour, Judy Rhodes, Shelia K. Adams, Loretta Hoxit Womack, Pamela Conseen Adams, Gail Stillwell Cooper, Linda Owen Vinson and Ruth Moore Pruitt.
