How kind was my sister to buy
This Dolly with hair that will curl
Perhaps if you want to know why,
She'll tell you, I've been a good girl.

The good Boy.
When Philip's good mamma was ill,The servant begg'd he would be still,
Because the doctor and the nurse
Had said, that noise would make her worse.

At night, when Philip went to bed,He kiss'd mamma, and whisp'ring said,
"My dear mamma, I never will
Make any noise when you are ill."

So amazing that we can get current stories from the daughter of a slave! The benefits of oral tradition come through so clearly. I love that the author fact checked everything as well, trying to prove and flesh out the stories.
I am in awe of two things about this book: Beck's discovery of the 200-year history of a truly remarkable African-American family, and the breadth and depth of scholarly research she has devoted to developing it into a thoroughly documented book. I first learned of it when she and I were taking part
I really, really enjoyed this book, but then too I am into genealogy and history. Oral history, though it may be exaggerated always has some truth to it and is a great stepping stone to finding the past. This woman was a treasure trove of history.
