The water broke out in the morning time. We could hear it when it broke, just like a 'Boom!' It busted the levee through. And the water was coming. We could hear the river roaring. People was hollering, 'The levee broke! Get ready and get out!' - David Honeyboy Edwards, April 15 1927, from his bio

'On the Trail of Negro Folk-Songs' Dorothy Scarborough pdf

Hi all,
I don't believe this has been shared here before. I'd heard of this work and vaguely remember looking for an inexpensive copy before but lo and behold there's a free pdf version on the Internet Archive:

Wikipedia has this to say of Dorothy Scarborough:
"Emily Dorothy Scarborough (January 27, 1878 ? November 7, 1935) was an American writer who wrote about Texas, folk culture, cotton farming, ghost stories and women's life in the Southwest."
