Diddie Dumps Tot Or Plantation Child Life PDF Download

Excerpt from Diddie, Dumps, and Tot: Or Plantation Child-Life IN writing this little volume, I had for my primary object the idea Of keeping alive many. Of the Old stories, legends, traditions, games, hymns, and superstitions Of the South ern slaves, which, with this generation of negroes, will pass away. There are now no more dear Old Mammies and Aunties in our nurseries, no more good Old Uncles in the workshops, to tell the children those old tales that have been told to our mothers and grandmothers for generations - the stories that kept our fathers and grandfathers quiet at night, and induced them to go early to bed that they might hear them the sooner.
