Wraps. Zustand: Very good condition. Stereotypical caricature of an African American in the first work by Abraham Lincoln's private secretary, John Hay. This occurs in the first of 2 poems, in which "Jim Bludso" sacrifices his life in order to save the passengers of a Mississippi river steam boat. The Jim Bludso poem, written in the dialect of Pike County, Illinois where Hay grew up, describes Bludso (a white man) as "no saint"; a man with 2 wives, who nevertheless gives his own life to save everyone else onboard when his Mississippi steamboat catches fire. Hay describes the steamboat tearing along, "with a nigger squat on her safety-valve". Two engraved illustrations depict the black crew member in stereotypically racist style, dressed in rags, with exaggerated features. The illustrations by Solomon Eytinge Jr. (1833 - 1905), American illustrator of journals and books, notably Dickens and Tennyson. The second poem describes the loss and miraculous recovery of a young pioneer child in a snow storm. These pioneering poems are written in similar dialect to the roughly contemporaneous poems by Bret Harte.
