Out of the Black Patch: The Autobiography of Effie Marquess Carmack, Folk Musician, Artist, and Writer
Effie Carmack's (1885-1973) memoir emphasizes her childhood on a poor tobacco farm. She describes her own artistic development; a wide variety of folk practices, from healing and crafts to children's games; the details of family relations, religious life, and hard work; and the activities of turn-of-the-century Mormon missionaries, adding to the record of Latter-day Saint attempts to establish a presence in the South. Noel Carmack is Effie Carmack's great-grandson, and the preservation librarian at Utah State University; Davidson was formerly a member of the English department at Brigham Young University.
