Abstract
Oral history interview with Wilburt Johnson, February 21, 2004. Willacoochee (Ga.). Fieldworker: Tim Prizer. Audio file digitized from cassette tape. Part of the South Georgia Folklife Project at Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections. Topics include Turpentining and the Turpentine industry and trade.
Mr. Wilburt Johnson speaks of his life working in the turpentine woods of south Georgia. Mr. Johnson worked for a number of people throughout his career in turpentine, one of which was Era and Gillis Carter.
Audio Note: Mr. Johnson speaks audibly throughout the recording, his deep speaking voice loud enough for the tape recorder. The occasional car passes by his house, sometimes with music playing, but for the most part the recording is superb.
