Additional Details

first and only edition. Americana dealer Charles Heartman's extraordinary and in some ways definitive catalogue of books, pamphlets and manuscript African American material from the 16th century to the 19th century. An invaluable reference. Many of the items described in this volume were purchased by institutions and will probably not be seen again.
