interesting book.

Courlander, Harold. THE BORDEAUX NARRATIVE. One of my favorite Haiti
books. This is a novel and Harold Courlander told me that after many years
of scholarly research he had a number of folk customs and legends
collected which he just couldn't published as scholarly reports since the
evidence was not strong enough. Yet he gave credence to these as common
beliefs in Haiti. So, in his senior years he wrote this road-story novel
to embody all these various legends. It is a marvelous read, and this is a
very fine copy in hard bound with dust jacket in a plastic cover.
$22.00.

Courlander, Harold. THE PIECE OF FIRE AND OTHER HAITIAN TALES. Put

Craige, John Houston, HAITIAN VIGNETTES. An amazing story and photo log
from a 1934 National Geographic Magazine. Craige, author of two notorious
books on Haiti, Black Bagdad and Cannibal Cousins, and a military person
in Haiti during the occupation, is the author. This is 51 page treatment
and includes 43 marvelous black and white photos and 13 color photos, when
color photos were more like drawings than photos. Some of these photos are
classic, and include a railroad in downtown P-a-P and a wonderful family
scene on the veranda of a gingerbread house. This is a quite scarce item
since National Geographics of this age are hard to find. This is the
entire magazine so you get the fringe benefit of such non-Haiti items as
an article on the stratosphere, and two studies of wild fowl and geese,
plus all the fun ads in NGs..
Quite nice condition copy for age. $32.00

STRETCH In the 1990s I published a magazine on Haiti. It was in part a
begging letter for my charity work in Haiti, but increasing in the 90s
began to offer book reviews, political analysis, new stroies and such.
Finally in 1994 I closed down the magazine and opened the Haiti e-mail
list on-line, which now has nearly 1200 subscribers. The magazine had 2500
subscribers and we used to print just a few extra, keeping costs low. Thus
these hand full of back issues are extremely rare documents.
Each issues is $7.00.
Number 4: Winter 1990: Voodoo Issue.
Number 5: Spring 1991: Revolution Part One
Number 6: Summer 1991: Revoution Part Two

WARDS OF THE UNITED STATES.   An unsigned story in National Geographic,
August, 1916. The article covers The Dominican Republic, Haiti and
Nicaragua. The section on Haiti is extensive and has 30 incredible black
and white photos of Haiti. One is extraordinary given the later art
revival in the 1940s. Most people are familiar with the famous photo of
Hector Hyppolite in front of his home, Ici Renaissance. This 1916 magazine
has virtually the same photo of a different artist in front of his painted
hut. It would be very hard for most to tell the difference! Other photos
include a great rural market, streets, cemetery and railroad in P-a-P,
arch in Les Cayes, forested mountains, rural tailor, statue of Dessalines,
a very unusual photo of the citadel and much more. A very difficult item
to find.
Nice condition $32.00.

cover and the old cover pasted on them. Text is solid and clean
