Negro Myths from the Georgia Coast, Told in the Vernacular

Negro Myths from the Georgia Coast, Told in the Vernacular, published in 1888 by Charles C. Jones, Jr., is a collection of folktales that captures the oral traditions of African American communities along the Georgia and Carolina sea islands. The stories, told in local dialect, feature animal fables and plantation anecdotes with recurring trickster characters like Buh Rabbit. Each tale conveys morals about cunning, promise-keeping, and the consequences of one's actions, while also providing insight into the cultural heritage of the Gullah people.
