Description: Oral folklore from coastal Georgia, collected from African Americans during the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration; much of the material concerns hoodoo practices.
Mary Granger, District Supervisor This collection of oral folklore from coastal Georgia was assembled during the 1930s as part of a WPA writers' program, under the supervision of Mary Granger. The accounts in this book, framed by colorful descriptions of the rural locales where they were collected, were principally from elderly African-Americans, some of them centarians. Most had been slaves. In some cases they had known first generation slaves who had been born in Africa.
