Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs of the Soil
But I do not hope to complete my career as merely a singer of the plantation. As I said in the beginning of this introduction there is a wealth of buried Negro tra dition. I hope that it shall be my fortune to unearth it and give it to the world in some attractive form so that men may realize that the Negro has a history and is something more than a peasant.
