Note

Anne Winn Stevens documented the stories of citizens of Asheville, North Carolina for the Federal Writers' Project. The project as a whole documents the personal histories of Southerners, which were collected through this New Deal program begun during the Depression. In these life histories, ordinary Southerners speak for themselves, and what they have to say provides a unique view of the world they experienced and helped create. These people describe how major events affected them -- the Civil War, Emancipation, World War I, the Depression. They speak of growing up, getting married, having children, and getting old. They talk about family life, sex roles, and religious beliefs. R. Scott Lunsford edited the story of his grandmother, Mrs. Georgia Lunsford and other stories from Anne Winn Stevens' documented stories.
