Biographical Note

William Amos "Doc" Abrams (September 18, 1904 - July 25, 1991), originally from Pinetops in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, was a professor of the English Department of Appalachian State Teacher's College from 1932 to 1946. He was appointed head of the English department in 1937, when the institution first appointed administrative chairman. He possessed both his A.B. (1926) and M. A. (1927) degrees from Duke University and his Ph. D. (1932) from Cornell University. From 1946 until his retirement in 1970, he served as editor of the North Carolina Education Association publications. Abrams was married to Lillian Cost and had one son, "Bill."

Starting in the 1930s, Abrams built a reputation as an enthusiastic collector, scholar, and promoter of North Carolina folklore. A significant number of folksong Variants in his collection (some collected in association with Dr. Frank C. Brown and later with Dr. Cratis D. Williams) appear in the seven volume publication, The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore (1962). Abrams served multiple terms as president of the North Carolina Folklore Society and contributed a number of articles to its Journal. The Society presented Abrams its Brown-Hudson Award in 1974 and named the prize for the outstanding undergraduate student essay in its annual contest after him. Abrams received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Appalachian State University in 1974 and received Appalachian State University's Chancellor's Award in 1984. He was also very active in the Lions Club. He was the District Governor of the Western North Carolina District in 1943-1944 and also the chairman of the Board of Councilman.

Series Description

Series A, Audio Recordings, 1938 - 1979, consists of audio recordings of speeches and folksongs. It contains 194 sound discs with 577 recordings, 20 reel-to-reels, and 25 cassette tapes. The recordings include 546 folk songs, 3 "jack tales," President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fireside Chat radio programs, President Harry S. Truman's radio programs, General MacArthur's speech after Japan's surrender, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's radio addresses, and Abrams' speeches. Recordings were originally made on sound discs. Commentary was added and the discs rerecorded onto reel-to-reels in the 1970s. Performers include Nora Hicks, Mrs. Avery Johnson, Laura Timmons, Edith Walker (Madison), Doc Watson's earliest known recording at age 14, Pearle Webb, Cratis D. Williams, and James and Lessie York. Audio cassettes are of Abrams' reel-to-reel commentaries. Reel-to-Reel recordings have been digitized and are available on compact disc for patron use.

Series B, Ballads and Folksongs, 1884 - 1973, contains Abrams' collection of printed folksongs and ballads. The series includes the lyrics of over 610 folksongs collected primarily in Watauga County, NC, during the 1930s-1940s, and also contanis a 1905 manuscript, authored by "Mary Alice Hoover's grandmother," containing transcripts of 16 folksongs. Many lyric sheets include the informant's name and date, seven folksongs contain a musical score, and many include variations. Sources of the folksongs include Betty and Mary Bostic, Herman Eggers, Mrs. Nathan Hicks, Nora Hicks, Frank Proffitt, and Edith Walker (Madison). It is divided into folksongs and Child ballads. It also contains photocopied album covers from Abrams' sound discs (LPs). Digital images of these files are available at Documenting Appalachia's "So Mote It Ever Be."

Series C, Personal Papers, 1927 - 1984, consists of personal papers, primarily materials created or accumulated by Abrams during his career as an educator. Subseries I, Correspondence, includes letters from 1936 to 1970, and contains carbon copies of Abrams' responses. Most correspondence is related to submissions to the North Carolina Education Magazine and invitations to speak at high school commencements, North Carolina Education Association chapters, North Carolina chapters of the Lions Club, letters from former students enlisted in military, a co-ed expelled from school for riding in a car, professional education correspondence, war's effects on public schools, Navy Reserve correspondence, folklore and ballad correspondence from Horton Barker, Kidd Brewer, Frank C. Brown, Mary Bost, A.J. "Jack" Greene, James York, Edith Walker, John Barden, Wade Brown, Edith Walker, and Daniel "Spud" Whitener. Subseries II, Speeches, includes speeches made by Abrams as class lectures and public events, such as the Lions Club, United Forces for Education, NCEA, and school commencements. Most are organized alphabetically and are primarily written or typed notecards. Subseries III, Educational Papers, includes books, notes, journal articles, and reports used and written by Abrams during his educational career, as well as his Master's thesis. Note cards contain apparent descriptions of poetry and literature and appear to be from graduate level literature courses. It also includes Abram's 1984 Chancellor's Award from Appalachian State University.
