Atusville: A Black Settlement
from the American Revolution
by Marcus LiBrizzi.
The Story of a
Black settlement known as Atusville near Machias, Maine. The
author explores the folklore surrounding the community using documents
and oral history sources. The result is the recovery of a number of
remarkable tales involving the participation of slaves in the American
Revolution, the outbreak of racial violence, rumors of the Underground
Railroad, and encounters with the apparitions of the dead.

At Story
Bank, we think stories of people & their places are the most interesting
of all. Join us this summer to find out more about collecting,
documenting, and presenting these traditions at Story Bank Institute.
Sponsored by the Maine Folklife Center and Cultural Resources Inc., the
four day institute will train you to collect, document, and present
local stories. Each day, participants will learn fieldwork
techniques, audio and video recording, digital photography, archiving
and developing public presentations based on narratives. A team of
documentary specialists and folklorists will guide you through the
ethnographic process as well as basic documentary techniques.
