","In the early 1900s, \"hillbilly\" music was being recorded in studios in northern states. The distance from the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia made it difficult for musicians to record their music. Ralph Peer–a producer for Victor Talking Machine Company in Bristol, Tennessee–decided to take advantage of this booming genre of music by establishing a recording studio on the second floor of the Taylor-Christian Hat Company on State Street in Bristol. In 1927, Peer recorded several songs with musicians that, to this day, are still regarded as the mothers and fathers of country music. Ralph Peer is also credited with discovering Jimmie Rodgers–one of country music's legends–at the Bristol Sessions. ","In response to Peer's call for musicians, Alvin Pleasant \"A.P.\" Delaney Carter, his wife, Sara Doughtery Carter, and his sister-in-law, Maybelle Kilgore Addington Carter traveled to Bristol to record their music. The Carter Family recorded six songs and soon became known as the \"first family\" of country music. The Carter Family continued to grow in size and musical talent. Maybelle Carter and her husband Ezra (A.P's brother) were the parents of June (1929-2003), Helen (1927-1998), and Anita (1933-1999), who later performed as the Carter Sisters. Although Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was, arguably, one of the most influential country music artists of all time, his music broke the boundaries of traditional country music, spilling over into other genres including blues, gospel, and rock and roll. Since his marriage to June Carter in 1968, he has been considered a member of the Carter family musicians.","For additional information on the Carter and Cash families, see the following: ","Birthplace of Country Music website","Streissguth, Micheal .

Maybelle Carter and her husband Ezra (A.P's brother) were the parents of June (1929-2003), Helen (1927-1998), and Anita (1933-1999), who later performed as the Carter Sisters. Although Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was, arguably, one of the most influential country music artists of all time, his music broke the boundaries of traditional country music, spilling over into other genres including blues, gospel, and rock and roll. Since his marriage to June Carter in 1968, he has been considered a member of the Carter family musicians.","For additional information on the Carter and Cash families, see the following: ","Birthplace of Country Music website","Streissguth, Micheal .

This series includes two memoirs written by Janette Carter (1983, 2005). The earliest of these two memoirs is autographed by Janette and Joe Carter, and the more recent memoir is autographed by Janette Carter, Flo (A.P. and Sara's first grandchild, the daughter of Gladys) and Johnny Wolfe (Flo's husband), and Dale (Janette's son) and Teresa Jett (Dale's wife). This series also contains a memoir written about A.P. Carter by Gladys Millard (n.d.), as well as a collection of Carter Family sheet music with a biography written by Johnny Cash (1980). This series is arranged chronologically. ","Series II: Memorabilia, 1941-2008, n.d. This series is comprised primarily of items relating to the Carter family's music, programs of events involving the family, and photographs. The series has been divided into the following five subseries:","Subseries A: Discographies, n.d. This subseries includes two discographies of the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle, one of which includes performances with Chet Atkins. It is likely that these discographies were meant to accompany audio recordings of the listed songs. This subseries is arranged by material type.","Subseries B: Music, 1944-1999, n.d. This subseries includes two books of sheet music (1944, n.d.) and a compact disc recording titled  The Original Carter Family in Texas  (1999). This subseries is arranged by material type.","Subseries C: Programs, 2000-2008, n.d. This subseries includes programs from the 26 th , 28 th , 29 th , 30 th , and 34 th  Annual Carter Family Memorial Festival and Craft Show (2000, 2002-2004, 2008), as well as the Carter Fold performance schedule for May and June of 2003. This sub-series also contains programs from the dedication ceremony for the A.P. Carter Cabin (2004) and the Janette Carter Memorial Gospel Concert (2008). In addition to event programs, this Sub-series also includes funeral programs for June Carter Cash (2003), Johnny Cash (2003), Joe D. Carter (2005), and Janette Carter (2006). This subseries is arranged chronologically within each event type.","Subseries D: Photographs, 2002, n.d. This subseries contains an undated photograph of the original Carter Family, a small portrait of Maybelle (n.d.), and two photographs taken at the Carter Fold, including one of Johnny Cash and one of June Carter Cash (2002). This subseries is arranged chronologically, with the undated material first.","Subseries E: Miscellaneous, c.1940-2004, n.d. This subseries includes Sara Carter's Musicians' Protective Association Card (c.1940), Maybelle Carter's hunting and fishing license (1975), and a scrapbook page dated May 29, 2004, that features a magazine clipping of the original Carter Family that is signed by Carlene Carter (June's daughter), Connie Smith, and John Carter Cash (Johnny and June's son). In addition, this sub-series also includes A.P.'s \"Bible Questions and Answers\" booklet (n.d.), Maybelle's Holiday Inn \"Inner Circle\" card (n.d.), a Carter Fold volunteer badge (n.d.), and a collectible seat cushion from the Carter Fold (n.d.).

This series includes eight newspaper articles from the Kingsport, Tennessee,  Times News , as well as three  GoTricities  special publications from the  Times News . The series also includes two newspaper articles from the  Bristol Herald Courier  and one special supplemental publication from the Scott County, Virginia,  Star . Although most of these articles discuss the public response to the death of Joe D. Carter, Janette Carter, June Carter Cash, and Johnny Cash, some discuss the impact of the Carter Family in their respective communities, as well as the country music genre. This series also contains an issue of  Life  that celebrates the life of A.P. Carter and an issue of  People  that pays tribute to Johnny Cash. This series is arranged chronologically. ","In the early 1900s, \"hillbilly\" music was being recorded in studios in northern states. The distance from the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia made it difficult for musicians to record their music. Ralph Peer–a producer for Victor Talking Machine Company in Bristol, Tennessee–decided to take advantage of this booming genre of music by establishing a recording studio on the second floor of the Taylor-Christian Hat Company on State Street in Bristol. In 1927, Peer recorded several songs with musicians that, to this day, are still regarded as the mothers and fathers of country music. Ralph Peer is also credited with discovering Jimmie Rodgers–one of country music's legends–at the Bristol Sessions. ","In response to Peer's call for musicians, Alvin Pleasant \"A.P.\" Delaney Carter, his wife, Sara Doughtery Carter, and his sister-in-law, Maybelle Kilgore Addington Carter traveled to Bristol to record their music. The Carter Family recorded six songs and soon became known as the \"first family\" of country music. The Carter Family continued to grow in size and musical talent. Maybelle Carter and her husband Ezra (A.P's brother) were the parents of June (1929-2003), Helen (1927-1998), and Anita (1933-1999), who later performed as the Carter Sisters.

The distance from the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia made it difficult for musicians to record their music. Ralph Peer–a producer for Victor Talking Machine Company in Bristol, Tennessee–decided to take advantage of this booming genre of music by establishing a recording studio on the second floor of the Taylor-Christian Hat Company on State Street in Bristol. In 1927, Peer recorded several songs with musicians that, to this day, are still regarded as the mothers and fathers of country music.

","In 1994, she organized the first Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which she held at JMU and in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. The event was considered historic and likely the largest gathering of African American poets and literature scholars to that date.

Her publications include  Sterling A. Brown: Building the Black Aesthetic Tradition  (1985), which was reissued in 1994 by the University Press of Virginia and the children's book  I Bet She Called Me Sugar Plum  (2004).

She was also the former president of the Harrisonburg Pilot Club, the Rockingham Country Teacher's Association, and the Shenandoah Branch of the National Association of American Pen Women. Beyond these organizations, Jones served on the boards of Greater Madison at JMU, the Sorenson Institute, and the Arts Council of the Valley. Personally, she was a member of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church and opened one of the first bed and breakfasts in the area in the mid-1980s.","For her extensive work through teaching, writing, and community involvement Jones was given a few honors including being cited in the 1989/1990 edition of  Who's Who in American Education \n and being named Women of the Year in 2000 by the Working Women's Forum.","In addition to all this work, Jones also worked at JMU for eight years. After retiring from teaching English at Turner Ashby High School in 1989, Jones began working for JMU in former President Dr. Ronald E. Carrier's office as the social events coordinator for Carrier and his wife, Edith. Soon she began writing Dr. Carrier's speeches and other documents as requested.In the early 1990s, Dr. Carrier commissioned her to write a book on the history of JMU that would appeal to a general audience. This book,  Rooted on Bluestone Hill , was published in 2004."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[identification of item], [box #, folder #], Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers, 1909-2011 (bulk 1991-2007), SC 0192, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[identification of item], [box #, folder #], Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers, 1909-2011 (bulk 1991-2007), SC 0192, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe initial accession of the Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers was processed by former Special Collections Librarian Chris Bolgiano in March 2005.
