VERY RARE; ow appears unread VG: x+493pp, maps, one foldout, appends, motif index; collected 1947-49 in micronesia, on an island near neighbor of Yap, in the Caroline Islands among austronesian speakers; Lessa apparently did not speak the local language and his interpreter was Iamalamai a 20 year old male who presumably learned engl during USN occupation during ww2; wiki= Ulithians are Micronesians living on an atoll in Yap state in the west-central Caroline Islands. Their culture has undergone strong change since the atoll came under U.S. control in 1944 and can best be described in terms of its traditional culture, with observations as to current modifications. The language is a dialect of Chuukese, a subdivision of the far-flung Austronesian languages. Ulithi consists of 40 islets totaling 4.5 km2 (4 sq mi), surrounding a lagoon about 36 km (22 mi) long and up to 24 km (15 mi) wide at 548 km2 (212 sq mi) one of the largest in the world. It is administered by the state of Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia. Ulithi's population was 773 in 2000. There are four inhabited islands on Ulithi Atoll. / ASSN: HandbookTX= BOATRIGHT, MODY COGGIN (1896 1970), folklorist and educator, was born in Mitchell County, Texas, He was the youngest of ten children in a ranching family and the grandnephew of merchants Mody and Sam Coggin of Brownwood. He was educated alternately by a governess on the ranch and at school in town. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1922 at West Texas State Teachers College, after serving two years in the army in 1917 19. He received his PhD degree at the University of Texas in 1932. He remained at the University of Texas until he retired in 1968, In 1934 Boatright published Tall Tales from Texas Cow Camps, a collection of stories he had learned in his youth. Gib Morgan: Minstrel of the Oil Fields (1945) presented the career and stories of a folk character comparable to Mike Fink or Johnny Appleseed. The book won him national recognition as a folklorist.Unlike many of his contemporaries who embellished folk tales with literary touches, Boatright retold stories in an unadorned and concise style much closer to true folk narration and recognized that in oral performance these tales were very molded by the immediate situation of their telling. His work stressed the importance of studying folklore in its total cultural context and of relating it to the lives of those who practiced it. Boatright published Folk Laughter on the American Frontier in 1949. It was innovative in suggesting that folklore may arise out of conflict between different social groups, a view at variance with the then-common notion that folklore was the result of the shared experiences of an isolated "folk. In 1937 Boatright joined Dobie in editing the annual collections published by the Texas Folklore Society. The Family Saga and Other Phases of American Folklore, a collection of lectures delivered by Boatright, Robert B. Downs, and John T. Flanagan, appeared in 1958. In 1963 Boatright published Folklore of the Oil Industry, explores the introduction of traditional character stereotypes and motifs into the oil fields. His investigations into folk activities in the oil fields continued, and in 1970 he published, with William A. Owens, Tales from the Derrick Floor, a pioneer work in oral history. Three years after his death in 1970 Mody Boatright, Folklorist, a collection of his essays, was published. In 1925 His first wife Elizabeth Reck died in 1929, and in 1931 he married Elizabeth E. Keefer. Elizabeth illustrated his first two books. Boatright was a lifelong Democrat and died in Abilene.
