by Salisbury University Students (1993)
1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
In 1993, former Salisbury University student Elaine N. Gauthier collected folk material. As a camping enthusiast, she chose to base her semester project on this topic. Her collection explores different categories of campers ranging from R.V campers (motorhome) to backpackers, their motivations and the reason they chose a particular type of camping. Later in her paper, the student provides a detailed description of the lifestyle of backpackers and the purpose of each item they carry with them. She also recounts some of her own adventures.
