Additional Details

Includes introductions of the 12 members of the Jubilee Singers and press reports on recent performances. Their audiences had included Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur, as well as Queen Elizabeth. The most unusual endorsement comes from ex-Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens, by then a quite frail invalid, who invited the singers to perform in his parlor. No other examples of this 1882-1883 edition traced, though Brown University has the 1879-80 edition.
