    BLACK IS.

    Edition: Paperback original - first printing.

    Edition: First thus.

    New York: Arno Press, 1974. Hardcover - A one volume reprint of this work originally published in two volumes in 1883. The author, an Englishman, first visted the US in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, and although he was in the North, his sympathies (as a member of a family who had held slaves in the West Indies) were with the South.
