JOHN HENRY: A Play

By

Pub Date: Jan. 4th, 1939
Publisher: Harper

A lyrical play built on the legendary figure of the Negro, Paul Bunyan, river man, ""natchal cotton rollin' man"". Good Mississippi and Louisiana material, with an authentic feel in the rhythmical, colorful use of group singing and Negro spirituals.
