Jennifer Wilson represents her cousin Julie Boone, a woman who carried the songs and ballads of the Appalachian Mountains that had been handed down through generations. This story tells of the time in 1918 that the famed ethnographer, musician, teacher, and song catcher, Cecil Sharp, came to Yancey County and collected traditional songs, the majority of which came from Julie Boone.
