 | A century of Negro migration |  |
BIBLIOGRAPHY
As the public has not as yet paid very much attention to
Negro History, and has not seen a volume dealing primarily
with the migration of the race in America, one could hardly
expect that there has been compiled a bibliography in this
special field. With the exception of what appears in Still's
and Siebert's works on the Underground Railroad and the
records of the meetings of the Quakers promoting this movement,
there is little helpful material to be found in single
volumes bearing on the antebellum period. Since the Civil
War, however, more has been said and written concerning the
movements of the Negro population. E. H. Botume's First
Days Among the Contrabands and John Eaton's Grant, Lincoln
and the Freedmen cover very well the period of rebellion. This
is supplemented by J. C. Knowlton's Contrabands in the University
Quarterly, Volume XXI, page 307, and by Edward L.
Pierce's The Freedmen at Port Royal in the Atlantic Monthly,
Volume XII, page 291. The exodus of 1879 is treated by J.
B. Runnion in the Atlantic Monthly, Volume XLIV, page 222;
by Frederick Douglass and Richard T. Greener in the American
Journal of Social Science, Volume XI, page 1; by F. B. Guernsey
in the International Review, Volume VII, page 373; by E.
L. Godkin in the Nation, Volume XXVIII, pages 242 and 386;
and by J. C. Hartzell in the Methodist Quarterly, Volume
XXXIX, page 722. The second volume of George W. Williams's
History of the Negro Race also contains a short chapter
on the exodus of 1879. In Volume XVIII, page 370, of Public
Opinion there is a discussion of Negro Emigration and Deportation
as advocated by Bishop H. M. Turner and Senator Morgan
of Alabama during the nineties. Professor William O.
Scroggs of Louisiana University has in the Journal of Political
Economy, Volume XXV, page 1034, an article entitled Interstate
Migration of Negro Population. Mr. Epstein has published
a helpful pamphlet, The Negro Migrant in Pittsburgh.
