About This Item
Boston: The Stratford Company, 1921. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Small hole on front hinge, a couple of very modest stains on the boards, and some wear to the corners, a near very good copy lacking the rare dustwrapper. Hill was an important African-American educator, teaching first at Tuskegee and later was the head of the Cheyney Training School. This is his first book, and only volume of poetry.
