First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on front endpaper: "Mrs. Annabel Morris Buchanan from the author with sincere good wishes," signed "Ned Adams," datemarked Columbia, SC, 1934. Small octavo (20cm). Black cloth spine over orange-tan cloth-covered boards (hardcover); dustjacket (in pieces) laid-in; xvii,117pp. A tight, clean copy, tightly bound and textually unmarked; Very Good or better. The jacket, completely disarticulated but substantially complete, is laid-in in four pieces. Adams' well-received first book, a collection of dialect stories set among the African-American residents of the Congaree River region of South Carolina. Like pretty much all work in this mode, best intentions aside, Adams's stories are deeply problematic: his use of dialect is cringeworthy to a sensitive modern reader, but in his time and place Adams was an oddity a well-to-do white physician from an old South Carolina family who was genuinely sympathetic to the plight of southern Blacks, and was heralded by Americans of both European and African descent as a champion of Southern folk culture and civil rights. This copy with an interesting association: presented by the author to Virginia folklorist Annabel Morris Buchanan, founder of the seminal White Top Music Festival in Southwest Virginia which, though it spanned only a decade (1931-1939) was a memorable and important early attempt to recognize and preserve southern Appalachian folk culture. The association between two "advanced" thinkers whose approaches to cultural preservation (in two separate but oddly interlinked realms), though inarguably well-meaning, might now be looked upon as anachronistic strikes us as a fruitful starting point for inquiry.

Maroon cloth; dustjacket; 49pp. Fine copy in the scarce dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $2.50 on front flap), crisp and unworn, very Near Fine. Dialect drama by a white Southern author, interesting primarily for its controversial back-story. By 1929 Adams (1876-1946), a white physician from Columbia, S.C., had already achieved a measure of national celebrity for his 1927 book of Black dialect stories, Congaree Sketches. The current work, a three-act drama also set in the Congaree River country of South Carolina, was initially greeted with acclaim until the Stage Society of Columbia [S.C.] proposed to stage the play with an entirely Black cast. As described in the on-line Enclopedia of South Carolina, ". The great public outcry against this decision overwhelmed the quality of the play and the objections of Adams and his many friends. After a bitter exchange of letters with their detractors in the local newspapers, the Stage Society's board of governors canceled the two productions that had been scheduled for February 5, 1929. Potee's Gal was never produced on the stage." A somewhat uncommon work, especially in such nice condition.
