A tantalizing sampler that manages to capture the mystique of the swamp and its former inhabitants
(Journal of American Folklore)Marvelous, candid photos out of time itself . . . The photographs are worth the price of admission. Not to mention the 'Swamp Talk' vocabulary that is itemized, the wonderful ballads, stories of the conjure doctor, and plain tales that embellish the serious documentary with the art of life
(Southern Living)Harper did an invaluable service in capturing the Okefinokee's peculiar brand of culture before it began to decline in the 1930s. The expression 'rare treat' is overused but perfectly accurate with regard to this abridgement of Harper's work
