Cabin and Plantation Songs, as Sung by the Hampton Students

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To these are now added over forty new ones, collected and ar ranged by Miss Bessie Cleaveland, musical instructor at Hampton since 1892. The hymn called by General Armstrong the Negroes' Battle Hymn, sung by his colored soldiers during the war and since then at Hampton, is added to the collection also, by special request, the grace sung at meal-time by the students of the school.
