The article discusses about the books "Wings on My Feet. Black Ulysses at the Wars," by Howard W. Odum and "John Henry. Tracking Down a Negro Legend," by Guy B. Johnson. This pair of authors cannot be too much admired. They write "social studies" at the University of North Carolina, but what they write is also literature, and it happens to be history of a very fine order. In collaboration they have produced authoritative works on Negro popular poetry Separately now they make further explorations into the Negro world, bringing back contributions to our knowledge each of which is fascinating and important.
