Description:In our Fall 2024 issue we feature four then-and-now articles for our readers in celebration of our 50th year. A fascinating article from Fall of 1994 “Bee Tree: On the Trail of Wild Honey”, followed by a look at some current beekeepers in the state; a moving piece by Cody Burdette, “Home to Swandale” from Spring of 1992, followed by further reminiscences of the same author in “Whistles on the Wind”; We revisit the “Harpers Ferry Ghost Walk” in a reprint from Fall of 2001 followed by an update on the ghost tour today by Carl Feather; lastly we have a reprint from Fall of 1991, featuring Braxton County basket maker Clyde Case, followed by an interview with Jefferson County basket maker Anne Bowers. In amongst these then-and-now features, you will find the usual sampling of articles that GOLDENSEAL has come to be known for—an article from our State Folklorist Jennie Williams, Reflections on Contemporary Art; memories of growing up in French Creek from Charles M. Morrison; a Tribute to our hard working farmers from Candy Thompson; a look a the life and accomplishments of Joan Browning by Barbara Howe; an Essay from Dana Pastro recounting memories of her grandparents on Muddy Creek Mountain in Greenbrier County; an interview with giant pumpkin growers, the Rodebaughs of Nicholas County; and another West Virginia Back Roads from Carl Feather, featuring the Harpers Ferry John Brown Wax Museum.
