Excerpt from When Daddy Was a Boy

There probably never was a father who did not have to face the demand, Daddy, tell me a story about when you were a little boy. And there probably never was a boy who did not find a story about his own father's boyhood more fascinating than any other.

The stories which follow were in answer to such demands. Many of them are partly true, even the one Negro folk-lore story having this element of truth - that it was told to me in my boyhood, with many others of the Bre'r Rabbit and Bre'r Fox kind, by my own old black folks around the cabin fire. I incorporate this one as a sample, yet I use only one because they have all been published before.
