Download or read book Shenandoah Valley Folklife written by Scott Hamilton Suter and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-01-06 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bordered by the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley forms a natural corridor to the western parts of Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Early American settlers followed the valley as one of the first routes westward. In Shenandoah Valley Folklife, Scott Hamilton Suter documents the many peoples who have left their marks on the folkways of the region--Native Americans, Germans, Swiss, Scots- Irish, and African Americans. His research reveals how the first settlers there built homes, how they worshiped, and how they passed on legends and musical traditions that continue to play a role in the community today. Throughout the book, Suter argues that the valley's past plays a definitive role in its present. He finds family traditions still thriving in crafts like white oak basketmaking, as well as in cooking and architecture. To illuminate the change and continuity in religious life, he focuses on Old Order Mennonites, the Church of the Brethren, and Baptists in the region. Using both historical sources and his own field work, Suter shows how folklife remains a powerful, resonant force in the Shenandoah, and how new immigrants are adapting and adding their own traditions to long-standing customs. Scott Hamilton Suter is curator of the Shenandoah Valley Folk Art & Heritage Center in Dayton, Virginia. He was a Senior Fulbright Scholar and University Fellow at The George Washington University and wrote "Tradition and Fashion: Cabinetmaking in the Upper Shenandoah Valley, 1850-1900" and has had articles in the "Folklore Historian" and the "Virginia Explorer."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Shenandoah Valley: The Chronicle of a Journey Through the Uplands of Virginia, Sketching Their Scenery, Noting Their Legends, Portraying Social and Material Progress, and Explaining Routes of Travel It was a charmingly bright morning when we bade Hagerstown good-bye, and look our places in the train on the Shenandoah Valley Railway bound southward. Passengers had come in on the Western Maryland Railway, and others on the Cumberland Valley, and now appeared after their breakfast at the station with smiling faces. Comparisons are odious, but a better meal than one gets at the railway restaurant in Hagerstown is unnecessary to either health or comfort. "That's a point you're forever thinking about," says Prue, a little spitefully. "I am, I acknowledge. It's of immense importance. Why is it I always prefer the Santa Fe route across the plains? Because I am sure of good meals. When one is traveling in the West or South, that consideration is doubly worth forethought. The certainty of finding well-cooked and abundant food was one great reason for my choosing this route for our present trip." "Well, I wouldn't be so particular." "Why not? It's largely your fault if I am." "How, pray tell?" "Because you have educated me to so good living at home!"
