Afro-American Folk Lore

Afro-American Folk Lore: Told Round Cabin Fires On The Sea Islands Of South Carolina (1892) is a collection of stories, songs, and other folklore passed down through generations of African Americans living on the Sea Islands of South Carolina. The author, Abigail M. H. Christensen, spent several years living among the islanders and recording their oral traditions. The book includes tales of animal tricksters, ghosts, and supernatural events, as well as songs and rhymes. The stories offer a glimpse into the unique cultural heritage of African Americans in the South, and the book is considered an important contribution to the study of folklore and African American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
