Brother Gardner's Lime-Kiln Club: Being the Regular Proceedings of the Regular Club for the Last Three Years with Some Philosophy, Considerable Music, a Few Lectures, and a Heap of Advice Worth Reading

Chicago, W.B. Conkey Company, 1894. Paperback. 300p. A vintage paperback book in POOR condition. The cover is badly chipped and could entirely detach is not handled very gently. The wrappers and edges are dampstained. All pages tanned with age. A very brittle copy that ought to be handled with great care. The "Lime Kiln Club" was a fictional fraternity of African American men, created by journalist/humorist Charles Bertrand Lewis for episodic newspaper pieces geared toward working-class readers. Written in dialect, the pieces depict the Club's members discussing politics and current events, negatively satirizing and stereotyping American blacks as ignorant and inadvertently humorous. .
