INTRODUCTION: MILDRED HAUN, STORYTELLER
Except for the brief introduction she wrote to her collection of Cocke County ballads, Mildred Haun committed very little about herself to paper. Although she was not evasive about her personal history, she was characteristically quiet and reserved. She left no autobiographical notes that answer the kind of questions which the reader of the stories in this volume will be obliged to ask. Even to discover the milieu of the young woman who wrote most of these tales before she was thirty, one must go back to the early decades of this century and understand that part of East Tennessee where the French Broad River flows through the center of Cocke County and the Smoky Mountains rise with heavy timber in a series of alternating high hills and narrow coves. After such an exploration, one must move almost directly to the stories, for Mildred Haun confronted herself and her personal world almost entirely in fiction.
In the footlocker of papers that she willed to Vanderbilt University, the bare biographical details can be assembled almost by chance. The daughter of James Enzor Haun and his wife Margaret Ellen, Mildred Eunice Haun was born on January 6, 1911. "My mother was a Cocke County Haun and married a Hamblen County Haun," she wrote in 1937 in the preface to her ballad collection. In that same sketch she recorded that she was born in Cocke County. Some years later
