Afro-American Folk Lore

Afro-American Folk Lore: Told Round Cabin Fires On The Sea Islands Of South Carolina (1892) is a book written by Abigail M. H. Christensen that explores the rich and diverse folk traditions of African Americans living on the Sea Islands of South Carolina. The book is a collection of stories, songs, and other forms of folklore that were passed down orally from generation to generation. These tales provide a glimpse into the lives and experiences of African Americans during the 19th century, and offer insights into their beliefs, values, and cultural practices. The stories cover a wide range of topics, including religion, superstition, slavery, and freedom. The book is an important contribution to the study of African American history and culture, and serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity of a people who have overcome tremendous adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
