Randolph County (W.Va.) YMCA Letters
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 1935
Three letters written by a young woman named Lynn to her parents while serving with the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) in Randolph County, West Virginia, during the summer of 1966. These detailed letters chiefly describe the townspeople of Harman and Whitmer, the geography of the area, and efforts to run recreational programs. Frequent topics include the conditions of people's homes, the poverty of the region, the treatment of children, the isolation of the region, the townspeople and their relationships to one another, sexuality and pregnancy, her perceptions of the people that she meets, the landscape and animals of the county, and the recreational activities that she and her associates set up.
