Enduring Music: Migrant Appalachian Communities And The Shenandoah National Park, Madeline Marsh
Enduring Music: Migrant Appalachian Communities And The Shenandoah National Park, Madeline Marsh
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
This paper is an archival study of the displaced children of families formerly living in the Shenandoah National Park which spans from Strasburg to Waynesboro, Virginia. The study looks at interviews, from the JMU Special Collections archives, of these children in the 1970-80s, nearly fifty years after their forced migration from the 197,438 acres that comprised the park. Change and pressure during the 1930s-40s combined with national policy began the nostalgic preservation and veneration of the culture of these people of the Blue Ridge Mountains; through the archives, a clear and diverse picture of the perspectives and lifestyles of people …
Mellie Dunham: A Remembrance Norway Maine Summer Festival, July 2003, David Sanderson
Mellie Dunham: A Remembrance Norway Maine Summer Festival, July 2003, David Sanderson
Maine History Documents
The story of Mellie Dunham continues to fascinate, even some seventy-five years after the events. The tale of the 72-year-old country fiddler invited to play for Henry Ford, made famous by the media, then hugely successful as a vaudeville performer, seems almost too perfect to be true. But it all happened, and it was Mellie’s own grace and lack of pretense, a genuineness that inspired the public’s affection for him, that was as much as anything else responsible for the events of 1925 and 1926.
This booklet was created to mark Mellie’s 150th birthday, July 29, 2003. We call it …

"How Got The Apples In?" Individual Creativity And Ballad Tradition, Edward D. Ives
"How Got The Apples In?" Individual Creativity And Ballad Tradition, Edward D. Ives
Dr. Edward D. Ives Papers
Way back in the beginning of things, almost a hundred years ago, Francis Barton Gummere not only wrote as good a description of the ballad as we've got, he also asked a crucial if rather enigmatic question, and that question-probably partly because it was enigmatic to the point of being gnomic-caught my attention when I first read it almost half a century after it had been written: "How got the apples in?" It turns out he was quoting a humorous poem by John Wolcott (aka "Peter Pindar") in which King James, looking at an old woman's dumplings, wondered "How the …

The Boys Of The Island : P.I.'S In The Maine Lumberwoods, Edward D. Ives
Dr. Edward D. Ives Papers
On the evening of March 19, 1984. a large crowd of Island folklore enthusiasts braved a snowy night and the threat of a power blackout to attend a lecture by "Sandy" Ives, author of books on Island folksong makers Larry Gorman and Lawrence Doyle. The event was memorable; Professor Ives shared his subject with new friends and old, told the stories and sang the songs. The lecture was part of the Second Annual Island Lecture Series. "Leaving Home: Migration from P.E.I."
Satirical Songs In Maine And The Maritime Provinces Of Canada, Edward D. Ives
Satirical Songs In Maine And The Maritime Provinces Of Canada, Edward D. Ives
Dr. Edward D. Ives Papers
Invective, ridicule, and insult are not uncommon ingredients in folk songs, and since songs containing these elements usually make us laugh, we speak of them as satirical. Sometimes the satire springs from a strong sense of social injustice, as it did with singers like Aunt Molly Jackson and Woody Guthrie. More commonly it arises from personal motives, such as a desire to annoy. This is a progress report on local songs-particularly those attributed to Larry Gorman-in Maine, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
The Life And Work Of Larry Gorman : A Preliminary Report, Edward D. Ives
The Life And Work Of Larry Gorman : A Preliminary Report, Edward D. Ives
Dr. Edward D. Ives Papers
Lawrence Gorman, "The Man Who Makes the Songs," was born in Trout River, Lot Thirteen, on the west end of Prince Edward Island in 1846. As a young man he worked on his father's farm, in the many shipyards along the Bideford and Trout Rivers, as a fisherman, and as a hand in the lobster factories along the shore from Cape Wolfe to Miminigash. Up to about 1885 (age forty), he spent many of his winters in the lumberwoods and his springs on the river drives, mostly along the Miramichi River in New Brunswick. Then he would usually return to …
