... Wood Pile Poems

Description:

***Betty Smith Foley FOREWARD:*** **Throughout these poems I have tried faithfully to reproduce various phases of the life of the old-time Southern negro** - his awe of the supernatural, love of grand display, his genuine delight in the simple joys of life, his loyalty, service and devotion to his 'white folks, ' faith in the Almighty, and his deep religious fervor. His homely philosophy has been immortalized in song and story, but **this book is dedicated to those readers who may be in sympathy with these chips of memory which I have picked up, as it were, from the old wood pile. Betty Smith Foley.***
