Description
Excerpt from Bahamian Folk Lore
Mr. H who is dearly loved by the coloured people, was expounding his theor ies as to the best way of elevating the race, and we had become much interested in his attitude towards them, as also in theirs towards him. He is Fader to them all, both old and young, as they button-hole him to tell him their little joys and great sorrows, particularly the latter. As we sat fanned by a soft breeze, I said, I wish I could get some of these negroes to tell me stories. They must know plenty, and I suppose that as books become more attainable the old stories will disappear.
