In 1888, Charles Colcock Jones Jr. published the first collection
of folk narratives from the Gullah-speaking people of the South
Atlantic coast, tales he heard black servants exchange on his
family's rice and cotton plantation. It has been out of print and
largely unavailable until now.
Jones saw the stories as a coastal variation of Joel Chandler
Harris's inland dialect tales and sought to preserve their unique
language and character. Through Jones' rendering of the sound and
syntax of nineteenth-century Gullah, the lively stories describe
the adventures and mishaps of such characters as "Buh Rabbit," "Buh
Ban-Yad Rooster," and other animals. The tales range from the
humorous to the instructional and include stories of the "sperits,"
Daddy Jupiter's "vision," a dying bullfrog's last wish, and others
about how "buh rabbit gained sense" and "why the turkey buzzard
won't eat crabs."

THE preparation of the following pages has been undertaken at the
suggestion of friends, seconded by the convictions of my own mind,
that a small volume on the Religious Instruction of the Negroes in
the United States would not be an unacceptable offering to the
Public, and especially the Christian Public, at the present time.
Whatever I have before prepared or published on the subject has
been freely used, whenever it has suited my purpose, in the present
composition. I have endeavored to confine myself to the Religious
Instruction of the Negroes, and have touched upon other subjects
only when it has been necessary for the illustration or support of
the one before me. I commend the Book to the candid consideration
of those who read it. My design has been to speak the truth plainly
and in love, and to do good. May the blessing of Almighty God
attend the effort.
The Religious Instruction of the Negroes In the United States
Authored by Charles C. Jones
The Siege of Savannah In December, 1864, & the Confederate
Operations in Georgia & the Third Military District of South
Carolina During General Sherman's March from Atlanta to the Sea

following two complete titles: The Religious Instruction of the
Negroes In the United States By Charles C. Jones 1842] & The
