- Oral history interview with John Frank "J.F." Wilcox Jr., and Bernice Wilcox, January 28, 2004. Ludowici (Ga.). Fieldworker: Timothy C. Prizer. Audio file digitized from cassette tape. Part of the South Georgia Folklife Project at Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections. J.F. and Bernice Wilcox, an elderly African American married couple in Ludowici, GA with a long history of involvement in the turpentine industry, speak about their lives living and working in south Georgia. J.F. worked in the woods for a number of years, but never lived on a camp in his adult life, while Bernice was born on a turpentine camp and lived much of her childhood years on the turpentine quarters as well. J.F. and Bernice were married on a turpentine camp as well. The sound quality of this recording is average, and there is very little background noise. J.F. and Bernice speak fairly clearly and audibly throughout.
