Mason Brewer was a poet, noted scholar, and the first African-American member of the Texas Folklore Society. This volume attempts to accurately capture the dialect of Black Texans of the 1930s. As Brewer explains in his foreword: "The group of American Negroes comprising the lower stratum should have a representative literature, and this literature can be best rendered in the medium of their natural speech, 'dialect.' . I have tried to capture and impound as much of all this as possible in these simple poems, every one of which is written in the uneducated Negro's own speech, a speech with which I am familiar both by inheritance and by long study." A very uncommon book by a noted Texas scholar and folklorist.
