by Salisbury University Students (1979)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents in 1979, Salisbury University students and teachers collected folk life material. For this collection, Arlie Kiser described the life of the people on the Lower Nanticoke River. She interviewed Mr. Cox; a man who spent his whole life on the river, just like his father and grandfather, and even his great grandfather. Mr. Cox is her grandfather, whose lifestyle was typical of the Nanticoke people. Some sketches of tools and boats used by these rivermen are also enclosed.
