Acknowledgments
During the course of this project, I had the pleasure of working with three excellent archivists. Gail Miller Deloach at the Georgia Department of Archives and History, Dennis S. Taylor at Special Collections in the Clemson University library, and John Medley at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum provided essential help with the illustrations from their superb collections. I am grateful for the help of everyone who assisted with this collection of essays on the rural South.
