Item description from seller

First revised edition, with a revised text and a new title, originally published in 1884 as 'The Rape of Florida,' with a slightly different text. Small octavo. 97pp. Frontispiece woodcut portrait of the author, all edges gilt. Red cloth with gilt decoration on front cover. Binding is quite soiled and stained, spine is browned, worn at tips of spine and corners, uneven spotting and discoloration along spine and front cover (although the gilt decoration is quite bright); a good copy, with text quite clean and binding is tight. Loggins, in The Negro Author in America, designates Albery A. Whitman as "the most talented and the most significant of all the American Negro poets between Phillis Wheatley and Paul Laurence Dunbar. The best known of his works. was reprinted with slight alterations. as Twasinta's Seminoles" [Loggins, p. 336-337]. A compromised copy of what has become a much sought after title.
