Additional Details

One of the most interesting of the so-called 'Dream Books,' this one provides thumbnail sketches of the lives of notables like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and W.C. Handy, Major Richard R. Wright, George Washington Carver and Fats Waller. The artwork throughout is of much higher quality than usually seen in such publications and was done by the African American cartoonist and illustrator George Lee. OCLC locates three copies.
