Old Plantation Hymns is a collection of previously unpublished melodies that were sung by slaves and free African Americans during the era of slavery in the United States. The book is compiled by William E. Barton, who provides historical and descriptive notes to give context to the songs and their origins. The songs are presented in their original form, with sheet music and lyrics, and the book includes a preface that discusses the importance of preserving these cultural artifacts. Overall, Old Plantation Hymns provides a unique glimpse into the musical traditions of African Americans during a pivotal time in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
