.

And the sons become the fathers, And the daughters will be wives,

As the torch is passed from hand to hand,

And we struggle through our lives.

Though the generations wander, The lineage survives;

And all of us, from dust to dust,

Become forefathers by and by.

(Dan Fogelberg)

"Daily our grandparents are moving out of our lives, taking with them, irreparably, the kind of information contained in this book. They are taking it, not because they want to, but because they think we don't care." (From the Foxfire series) Like that remote area in the Appalachias, our Northeast Arkansas Delta history and folk culture is in jeopardy of being lost. Our grandparents are leaving us, too, with all the stories and ways of living familiar to this Delta culture during the early 20th century. Help us preserve this history--our history. Talk to your family. Write down their stories. Save their photographs. Leave a legacy for future generations. "We can only know where we're going by looking at where we've been."
