Coles A Slow Life but a Good Life: Stories from the South Carolina Mountains at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A Slow Life but A Good Life describes a time when good stories served as a primary source of entertainment and information. Over the past several decades, Coggeshall has collected numerous stories about the lives of long-term residents in the South Carolina mountain counties. This book presents these stories, along with a discussion of the social context of storytelling and an overview of the dialect in which the stories are told. Since the contributors range in age from their twenties into their nineties, the stories document nearly a century of life in this part of the state. Stories are arranged by topics, and describe rural life, food procurement and preparation, traditional cures and curing, social life and activities, four schools, couples, and local characters and practical jokes. An introductory chapter presents the physical and social background of the area. One appendix presents brief biographies of the contributors, and a second one provides a list of unusual words used in the stories.
