Abstract: This thesis describes the development of a rational, culturally grounded medical system involving not only traditional ethnomedical practices but biomedicine as well. It also addresses the agency exhibited by people living in the area in both maintaining and transforming their healing system. This analysis is grounded in an examination of the history of Ashe County, North Carolina.
