Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Christmas-Night in the Quarters With Negro life and manners claiming the interest of novelist and playwright, will not the name of Irwin Russell emerge from the obscurity that has all but dimmed the fame of the South's pioneer writer of Negro dialect? With a constant stream of works bearing on the Negro issuing from the publishing houses, is it not safe to predict that the poems of Irwin Russell will no longer gather dust on library shelves, and that his well-defined ideas of Negro character will again find their way to the reading public? Thomas Nelson Page and Joel Chandler Harris acknowledged their debt to Russell, and though Dubose Heyward, Roark Bradford, and Julia Peterkin have struck an original note in fiction about the Negro, no doubt they too would welcome the whimsical Mississippi poet of whom it was said: "He couldn' a' talked so nachal 'Bout niggers in sorrow and joy, Widdouten he had a black mammy To sing to him 'long ez a boy." Though not the greatest writer of Negro dialect in America, Irwin Russell was one of the very first to appreciate the true literary possibilities of Negro character and approach his subject with artistic fidelity. To him the Negro was not merely a ludicrous individual suited to caricature, but a well-defined personality, rich in humor and pathos, yet preserving his own peculiar traits in an alien environment. In order to realize just what were Russell's opportunities for observing Negro character, we must gaze back upon a somnolent little town in Mississippi during the years immediately preceeding the Civil War and the dreadful days of Reconstruction. The town was Port Gibson, and here it was that Dr. William McNab Russell came to settle, bringing his young wife. And it was here that the Russell family greeted the arrival of Irwin, June the third, 1853. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
