About this Item

Stitched, pale blue wraps with black titles. Some light edge and corner wear along with light aging. Square with a secure binding. This is a very attractive copy. VG to VG+. This publication of the American Missionary Association features reports from activities in the Southern states in freedmen schools and colleges along with other reports on Native Americans and Chines immigrants. These magazines provide primary sources on early efforts (after the Civil War) on work in the South by these schools. This issue has articles entitled "Training Colored Girls" and "Industrial Work at Memphis." There are reports from Avery Normal Institute in South Carolina, New Building in Athens Alabama, The Georgia Association and a few others. There are also articles on Chinese immigrants, Native Americans and many other articles and reports. Exceptional information about African-Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. These magazines seem to be rather uncommon. I find only four or five copies in WorldCat/OCLC. ; Vol. XXXVII, No. 1; B&W Illustrations; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 32 pages. Seller Inventory # 16916
