Handwritten manuscript.

From the preface: "Having at this date [1901], through God's sparing mercy, become an Octogenarian, and desiring, in some measure, at least, to live over again my thirteen years' work among the colored people in the South, I have transcribed from my somewhat dilapidated scrap-book, my contributions of intelligence from the field to the Examiner, New York, and other Journals."
