1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
In 1983, Salisbury University Student Kara Kvalnes collected folk material. Her collection mainly focuses on the famous legend of Big Liz in Dorchester County, the ghost of an African-descent slave who was thought to guard a treasure in the Green Brair Swamp. The student attempted to do a comparative analysis of the versions of the story between generations. She enclosed a few newspaper clippings featuring the tale along with the tape of her interviews.
