Publication of "Clamming in the Great South Bay" in Folklore Journal
An assignment in a Folklore Class at Suny Oneonta led to the writing of a paper dealing with clamming on Long Island's South Shore . Having been a clammer for a number of years, I documented the history and and present-day skills needed to be a bayman . My professor was so impressed with the piece that he asked me to expand on the original document and add photos . He then submitted it to the Journal of American Folklore and it was subsequently published in one of their quarterly printings.
