| Sumario: | Written by an internationally recognized folklorist and illustrated with more than 100 photos, this book is an in-depth exploration of a little-known cultural tradition that dates back to the Civil War and is still observed widely throughout the Upland South, from North Carolina to the Ozarks. Decoration Day is a late spring or summer tradition that involves cleaning a community cemetery, decorating it with flowers, holding a religious service in the cemetery, and having dinner on the grounds. The Jabbours illuminate the meanings behind the rituals and reveal how the tradition fostered a grass. |
