Out of the Black Patch: the autobiography of Effie Marquess Carmack, folk musician, artist, and writer
No full textEdited by Noel A. Carmack and Karen Lynn Davidson.Includes bibliographical references and index.Effie Marquess Carmack (1885-1974) grew up in the tobacco-growing region of southern Kentucky known as the Black Patch. As an adult she moved to Utah, back to Kentucky, to Arizona, and finally to California. Economic necessity primarily motivated Effie and her husband's moves, but her conversion to the Mormon Church in youth also was a factor. Throughout her life, she was committed to preserving the rural, southern folkways she had experienced as a child. She and other members of her family were folk musicians, at times professionally, and she also became a folk poet and artist, teaching herself to paint. In the 1940s she began writing her autobiography and eventually also completed a verse adaptation of it and an unpublished novel about life in the Black Patch. Much of Effie's story is a charming memoir of her vibrant childhood on a poor tobacco farm. She describes a wide variety of folk practices, from healing and crafts to children's games. Her family's life included the backbreaking labor and economic trials of raising tobacco, but it was enriched by a deep familial heritage, communal music, creative play, and traditional activities of many kinds. After the family converted to the Mormon Church, religious study and devotion became another important dimension. Effie's account of Mormon missions contributes to the little-known record of Latter-day Saint attempts to establish a presence in the South. After marrying, the Carmacks moved west, eventually landing in the Arizona desert, where Effie took up painting in earnest. Her art began to attract modest attention, which brought exhibits, awards, and a new career teaching others what she had taught herself. After the Carmacks later retired to Atascadero, California, Effie became a more active and public folk singer as well.--Provided by publisher.Foreword / Maureen Ursenbach Beecher -- Pictures of Childhood -- Ponderous Milestones -- Raised in a Patch of Tobacco -- A One Horse Religion -- Dear Home, Sweet Home -- Bitterness and Sorrow Helped me Find the Sweet -- Epilogue [The Outskirts of a Desert Town] -- Appendix One: The Song and Rhyme Repertoire of Effie Marquess Carmack -- Appendix Two: Things to Accomplish -- Appendix Three: Henry Edgar Carmack

Previous issue date: 2004published or submitted for publicationEffie Louise Power (1873–1969) represented the high standard of collaboration
among children’s librarians that characterized the entire development
of youth services work. This article examines Power’s role in U.S. library
history as a practitioner, library and information science educator, national
and regional professional leader, and author. Particular emphasis is given to
Power’s place in the network of children’s librarians in the early twentieth
century, her professional authority as the librarian selected by the American
Library Association to write the fi rst textbook for children’s librarianship,
and her success as one of the many librarians who have written and edited
children’s books, especially folktale collections for use in storytelling programs.
Emerging most notably from this research is the discovery of how
energetically, albeit quietly, Power infl uenced not only her contemporaries
but also the next several generations of children’s librarians who have followed
in her professional footsteps
