VESEY, John. SITTIN'-THINKIN': OLD FASHIONED DARKEY DIALECT POEMS FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT, ENTERTAINMENT AND EDIFICATION. NY: Greenwich Book Publishers, [1957]. 8vo., yellow cloth in dust jacket. Second Edition. Signed presentation from Vesey on the front endpaper: "To The Matheson's, Polly and Bill and the children from Uncle John Vesey, 1959." Poetry depicting the day-to-day life of the Dixie Negro of times past- perhaps a bit politically incorrect today! Vesey, who was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, was a descendant of Charlemagne and Vesey Street in New York City is named after his family. Very Good (little browning endpapers); some shallow chipping to edges d/j. $85.00.
Price: $85.00
