Abstract

Finding aid only for Folklife Archives Project 1197. Student paper title “Place-Names of Johnson County,Kentucky” in which Jenny Lewis draws connections between folklore and specific monikers throughout the county. In her paper, Lewis offers brief biographies of each informant, and proceeds to categorize locations by grouping them together under qualifiers such as “geographical features,” “pieces of architecture,” “people or families,” and “battles, wars, and Indian tribes.” The paper also contains a map of Johnson County.
