Anne Lewis. 1985.
Artus Moser, "a Renaissance man of the mountains," was born in 1894, and grew up on the Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina, where his father was a forester. This program explores the richness and variety of his long life as an early collector of ballads for the Library of Congress, as a teacher, singer, storyteller, actor, painter, sculptor, gardener, naturalist, and husband and father. Artus Moser of Buckeye Cove combines family interviews, archival photographs and recordings, and Moser performing songs he collected to paint an appealing portrait of a unique collector and performer of North Carolina mountain music.
