Crossroads of identity and memory: Mapping the cultural landscape of Taylor's Bridge.
Walsh, Constance S.

Crossroads of identity and memory: Mapping the cultural landscape of Taylor's Bridge. - 201 p.

Adviser: Rebecca J. Sheppard.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Delaware, 2007.

The cultural landscapes of Delaware's small rural communities that existed before the advent of commercial agriculture have all but disappeared. The people in these communities once lived to the natural cadence of the seasons, worked within in a local economy, and shared a traditional culture of hard work, mutual dependence, and identification with the land and its resources. While the physical remnants of the Taylor's Bridge community are now limited to a few landmarks, the collective memories of the people who lived there give us a glimpse of an older, vanished landscape tied to activities of a social and historic context before World War II. Fortunately, this vanished cultural landscape can be mapped thanks to the memories of its residents.

520 $a The cultural landscapes of Delaware's small rural communities that existed before the advent of commercial agriculture have all but disappeared. The people in these communities once lived to the natural cadence of the seasons, worked within in a local economy, and shared a traditional culture of hard work, mutual dependence, and identification with the land and its resources. While the physical remnants of the Taylor's Bridge community are now limited to a few landmarks, the collective memories of the people who lived there give us a glimpse of an older, vanished landscape tied to activities of a social and historic context before World War II. Fortunately, this vanished cultural landscape can be mapped thanks to the memories of its residents.
520 $a A series of recorded interviews were used to elicit the memories of residents and former residents that focused on their relationship to the landscape. Other sources included early topographic maps, photographic collections, and local histories that helped to confirm facts and enhance recollection. The interviews focused on three major aspects of the landscape: a one-room schoolhouse, a saltwater marsh, and the community's response to a threat to their way of life. Attending school together created communal memories that bonded the community and led them to preserve the school as a community center. Extracting resources from the marsh not only provided income but also was the source of personal identification with the landscape through the passing of traditional knowledge of this environment from one generation to the next. Finally, the memories of their way of life and the desire to protect their heritage for the future compelled the residents of Taylor's Bridge to fight to save it from a refinery that would have destroyed their landscape.
