Abstract

In 1977, Salisbury University Student Leslie Holsey collected local folk material. She chose to focus on the progress of Snow Hill, Maryland, through the years since the 1920s. The narrative on Snow Hill was told by a native Easternshoreman who recalled, among other details, how their former firehouse was equipped with only two white horses and which family owned the very first car in town back in the days. This paper is essentially a travel back in time that enables us to appreciate how things had changed.
