"Second Printing, February, 1928."

"A Lincoln story ... told through the words of an old negro woman ... As a character sketch while not factual, nor to be accurately placed with the folklore of the times, it is nonethelss more than fiction. It may belong in some odd borderland between fiction and folklore, a story born from impressions of the stir of voices lingering from childhood."-Introduction.
