These commemorations seem to predate the post-Civil War celebrations that ultimately gave us our national Memorial Day. Little has been written about this tradition, but it is still observed widely throughout the Upland South, from North Carolina to the Ozarks. Written by internationally recognized folklorist Alan Jabbour and illustrated with more than a hundred photographs taken by Kare 606 $aMourning customs$zAppalachian Region, Southern 606 $aCemeteries$zAppalachian Region, Southern 606 $aDecoration and ornament$zAppalachian Region, Southern 607 $aAppalachian Region, Southern$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aMourning customs 615 0$aCemeteries 615 0$aDecoration and ornament 676 $a393/.90975 700 $aJabbour$b Alan$01597893 701 $aJabbour$b Karen Singer$01597894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809312503321 996 $aDecoration day in the mountains$93919846 997 $aUNINA
