KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A new website will feature recordings made in 1939 of residents who lived in and around the Smoky Mountains.
The recordings of traditional Appalachian speech were made by Columbia University graduate student Joseph Hall over an eight-month period as he endeavored to record a way of life that was disappearing.
He recorded 58 people ranging in age from late 30s to 96, some of whom lived near the newly formed park and others who lived in it.
