Please note that George Brown Tindall's background as a white, male scholar places him in an imbalanced position of power that unfairly places his views above the Black people he describes in his work. Due to this occuring during the Jim Crow Era, Tindall's background must be taken into account while assessing his portrayal of Black people. This manuscript is the final typescript, with hand-written notations and corrections, of Tindall's book entitled South Carolina Negroes, 1877-1900 (University of South Carolina Press, 1952).

Collation is as follows: introductory material: 19 leaves, variously numbered; text: 356 hand-numbered leaves; footnotes: 75 numbered leaves; bibliography: 20 numbered leaves; index: 30 numbered leaves.

One folder of miscellaneous items includes a sample title page and frontispiece; a rejected title page; publishers' ads; a case binding, and a dust jacket for the book.
