Today's free book is
Drums and Shadows: Survival Studies among the Georgia Coastal Negroes by the WPA Georgia Writer's Project. Here are Bruno Hare's introductory comments: "This collection of oral folklore from coastal Georgia was assembled during the 1930s as part of a WPA writers' program, under the supervision of Mary Granger. The accounts in this book, framed by colorful descriptions of the rural locales where they were collected, were principally from elderly African-Americans, some of them centarians. Most had been slaves. In some cases they had known first generation slaves who had been born in Africa."
