The Saturday Review writes: "This story of the Negro in Virginia, free from both bitterness and prejudice and equally free of sentimentality and pretentiousness, is not only one of the most significant books to come from the whole work of the Federal Writers' Project. It is also, I think, on of the most valuable contributions yet made to the Amerian Negro's history." (Jonathan Daniels). Schoyer 630 ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xii, 380 pages
