Old Plantation Hymns is a book that contains a collection of previously unpublished melodies that were sung by slaves and free African Americans in the southern United States during the 19th century. The book includes historical and descriptive notes that provide context and insight into the origins and cultural significance of these hymns. The author, William E. Barton, has compiled a comprehensive selection of songs that reflect the spiritual and emotional experiences of African Americans during a time of great social upheaval and oppression. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of African American music and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
