About this Item

Folio. Flexible morocco decorated in gilt, with gilt stamping "M.D. Halsey" appearing on the front board, floral endpapers, and a ribbon marker. According to the colophon at the rear, this volume was bound by Mina Deane Halsey in Los Angeles on November 12, 1908. It is number "1" of an unknown limitation and Signed by Mina Deane Halsey. A collection of 16 pieces of sheet music written by Halsey bound together with their original color covers, many which display her portrait, and about half of which are highly racist. They include: "Sweet Liza: A Coon Song & Dance"; "Dream My Yaller Baby Dream: A Lullaby"; "Sal Belindy: Da Gal from Tennessee"; "Coon Hush"; and including two different printings of her "Moonlight on the Melon Patch: A Darkey Episode", and other favorites. Also bound in are a periodical and a program featuring Deane. Laid in is a nicely designed personalized Christmas Card from Deane. Despite her apparent success as a prolific songwriter and lyricist, Halsey is best remembered for her book *A Tenderfoot in Southern California* (written as M.D. Yeslah, 1908), which examines social life in Los Angeles and its environs from the perspective of a New Yorker. *OCLC* seems to locate sheet music of only three of these songs. A complete list is available.
