    New York: Covici Friede, 1929. dj. Hardcover first edition - An eloquent book in which this African-American singer, one of the foremost spiritual / blues singers of his day, recounts his childhood in the 'sporting world' in Sulfur Springs, Montana (where his family was the only black family), his experiences as a Pullman porter, working as a driver for John Ringling, being in New York during the years now called the 'Harlem Renaissance' and traveling to Europe to sing. Written at the peak of his singing career, where he partnered with Rosalind Johnson (sister of James Weldon Johnson), this ends with his comments on "what a lucky bird I am to have been laid on the top of the Rocky Mountains" and long after the events in this book, he returned to Silver Springs for the remainder of his life. Illustrated with a color frontispiece and 9 black and white plates by Covarrubias, an introduction by Muriel Draper, who talks about editing the original handwritten manuscript, and a foreword by Carl Van Vechten. An important book of the Harlem Renaissance era which is scarce in the first edition and rare in dust jacket. Glossary. 235 pp.
