Too Faintly Damned To the Editor: In your review of Legends of are guilty of praising with faint damnation. The book is far worse than you say. Though the tales are better written than the trite introduction, Miss Hathcock’s book is remarkable for its undistinguished use of language. In the Indian legends, the view of Indian life, in language and attitude, is absurdly romantic. The Great Spirit speaks in King James English to the quaint savages, retreating before the white man, -whom the author is careful not to condemn for his aggression. The Civil War Legends are even worse, filled with bad dialect Negroes, including Aunt Dorah \(“the whites of her eyes growing “patches of snowy hair adding dignity to his nel Stuart’s “Colored folks” who fear the ghosts of his dead son, a sort of male Little Eva with the same “sweet kuls on top ob his haid.” Best of all is Uncle Josh, who “died of a broken heart” after “de wah,” “recalling of the ‘`old days,’ of the happy years spent with his white folks.” The “white folks” include one “Colonel” per story. An illustration from one of the stereotyped Negro legends is used -to decorate the cover in a grotesque color combination of orange and green. The author, she says, selected legends handed in by students, often “only several paragraphs long.” Her first mistake was making them much longer. “Teachers of English find precious little time for writing,” she says in the preface. “Fortunately,” you should have added.
