Bahama Songs and Stories: A Contribution to Folklore is a book written by Charles Lincoln Edwards and published in 1895. The book is a collection of folk songs and stories from the Bahamas, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Edwards, an American author and journalist, traveled to the Bahamas to document the local culture and traditions. The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a collection of Bahamian songs, including work songs, spirituals, ballads, and dance songs. Edwards provides the lyrics and the musical notation for each song, along with a brief commentary on its origin and significance. The songs reflect the African and European influences on Bahamian culture, as well as the daily life of the islanders.The second part of the book consists of stories and legends from the Bahamas. Edwards collected tales of ghosts, pirates, mermaids, and other supernatural beings, as well as stories of everyday life on the islands. Some of the stories are humorous, while others are eerie and mysterious. Bahama Songs and Stories: A Contribution to Folklore is an important historical document that provides insight into the cultural heritage of the Bahamas. Edwards’ collection of songs and stories has been used by scholars and musicians to study the history and traditions of the islands. The book is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in folklore, music, and the Caribbean.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
