Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Ancient Negro a Compilation We have endeavored to present to our readers a selected collection of historical facts in one volume on the Ethiopian or Ancient Negro. It has long since been con ceded that Negro nations or Hamites were the earliest civilized peoples and the real source of the civilization we enjoy today. More and more are we made cognizant of the fact that men to-day are but doing over the things that were done thousands of years ago and it is inter esting to note that the Negro's share in those early activities was not a small one. It is to familiarize the youth as well as the adult of the Negro race with the events in which many of their ancestors centered that it may be an incentive to higher airns and nobler aspira tions.
