The African Widow c1830-1840 Rare African Americana
While supposedly written "for the relief of the wants of the poor Africans and Asiatic strangers" this tract perpetuated racist stereotypes of the time. Interesting in terms of how African Americans were portrayed at the time, even from sympathetic sources.
title page says "Suppose to have been written by the late Rev. Leigh Richmond."
