Albery Allson Whitman (1851-1901), born the child of slaves in Kentucky, made his livelihood as a preacher in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He also produced a prodigious amount of poetry. Many of these works--replete with "mulatto" figures and vignettes about black, Native, and white subjects in the frontier spaces of the Midwest and Florida--prefigure current preoccupations in literary and cultural studies. This collection includes selections from all of his major narrative poems, along with other poems, letters, and a sermon. By collecting and republishing these works--many of which have been out of print for more than a century--this volume restores Whitman's standing as one of the most important post-Civil War African American writers.

Albery Allson Whitman was born on May 30, 1851 in slavery in Hart County, Ky. , near Mumfordsville. His mother died in 1862, less than a year before he was set free; his father died just after emancipation.
His schooling was brief - probably about seven scattered months. He taught school in Ohio and Kentucky for short periods, and finally entered Wilberforce University, where he remained for six months under the instruction of the Rev. Daniel Alexander Payne. He was not a graduate of Wilberforce but was officially connected with the school for a number of years.
After the farm drudgery of his slave boyhood, he became an itinerant manual laborer in shops and on the railroad in Kentucky and southern Ohio. After publishing Essays on the Ten Plagues and Miscellaneous Poems, he returned to Wilberforce and brought out in 1873 his second work, Leelah Misled. In 1877, when an elder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and financial agent of Wilberforce, he published, in the interests of Wilberforce, Not a Man and Yet a Man, with a group of miscellaneous poems. In 1884 appeared The Rape of Florida, later issued under the name of Twasinta's Seminoles. His duties as pastor carried him from Ohio to Kansas, Texas, and Georgia. He was influential in establishing many churches. His last work was An Idyl of the South (1901), comprising two fairly long poems, "The Octoroon" and "The Southland's Charms and Freedom's Magnitude. " He died in Atlanta, Ga. Whitman's poetry is essentially imitative. His Leelah Misled is consciously Byronic; Not a Man and Yet a Man is a medley of derivations; Twasinta's Seminoles recalls Byron and Tennyson. The shorter poems, humorous, sentimental, and topical commentaries, rely frequently on models such as Bryant and Whittier, and strive for "literary" effect. Although he chose subjects of scope and enduring appeal, and was concerned chiefly with tragedies afflicting either characters of mixed blood or the fast-vanishing Indian, his narratives suffer from digressions and incoherence. The incidents are melodramatic, the characters sentimental stereotypes of "blood and tears" romances. "The Freedman's Triumphant Song" and "The Southland's Charm and Freedom's Magnitude" are intellectually unimpressive, phrasing the conventional insistences upon the negro's patriotism, optimism, and deserts. But in spite of lapses of diction, technique, and taste, Whitman's poetry is fluent, and his love for nature seems real and unforced.
