サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Dr. Brooks Blevins, the premier historian of the Ozarks and Noel Boyd professor of history at MSU, sits down with Curtis and Hayden to discuss the tension between the "cold, hard facts" of history and the more whimsical world of folk stories and songs. From "signal trees" to the folktales of Vance Randolph, Dr. Blevins evaluates the relevance of folktales and ballads to historical studies and explains how he has become more accepting of folktales as an essential element in Ozarks culture.
