No Flies on Bill: The Story of an Uncontrollable Old Woman, My Grandmother, Ethel "Billie" Gammon Northeast Folklore Vol. XXIX: 2006 Billie Gammon is well known in Maine as the founder of the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center in Livermore, Maine. "This is a fascinating reflection on the life of an accomplished public historian through a series of oral history interviews conducted by her author/historian granddaughter. It is an amazing story that illuminates the real joys and real struggles of one woman’s life in Maine during the twentieth century. The author deftly crafts the story with historical narrative, quotes from her grandmother, her own reflections, and a few memories from other informants. It is written in an engaging and lively style that will be of great interest to the readers of Northeast Folklore."--Professor Martha McNamara, University of Maine.
