Clinton, SC: Jacob's Press, 1942. 1st ed., 1st ptg. Hardcover. VG+/VG-. 8vo. 148pp. Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear, staining, and slight chipping along head of lower cover. Brown boards with paper-covered upper board. Pasted down endpaper along hinges in both upper and lower boards seems to be losing adhesive quality due to age. This creates slight bumps in endpaper, but does not effect binding or overall condition. Includes introduction by Archibald Rutledge, photographs, and transcribed Gullah poems. "All true, musical, humorous, and philosophical experiences are recorded in these poems as spoken by the Gullah people of the early 1900s in the South Carolina Low Country. The poems are written phonetically and, therefore, easy to read and understand." more information
