Wal-Mart occupational folklore, 2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173263560

Stoker analyzes the political and social impact of Sam Walton, the founder of the retail giant Wal-Mart, on his Northwest Arkansas home. Through local folklore she has gathered, Stoker analyzes possible motives behind the fascination with the Waltons in the tiny town of Bentonville. Multiple stories are told throughout the collection illustrating the character of the Walton children as a break away from the character traits their father valued.
