Description

Scanned images of printed pamphlet entitled "The Virginia Negro Mammy": Tena MacIntosh by Edmonia Woltz Gray.

This four page pamphlet was printed around 1909 by Gray in Roanoke, Virginia. Accompanying the pamphlet is a letter from Gray on 14 November 1909 to W.M. Black, Librarian of the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia.

The pamphlet was written as a biography of Tena MacIntosh, an enslaved woman who lived in Montgomery County, Virginia. MacIntosh was enslaved by George Hancock at Fotheringay.

Gray's publication is referenced in a biography by Dale MacAllister, "Lucy Frances Simms : from slavery to revered public service" held at the Library of Virginia. The pamphlet appears to have been acquired by the Library of Virginia in 1910 and may also be held in their collection.

The pamphlet and letter are held in original print and handwritten physical formats at the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, Virginia.
