I would like to claim as a solo Biography of an American Bondman. Do I proceed to setting it up on the Launchpad? Jim
Yes, just head over to the New Projects forum and start it up. (And let me know when you do, so I can erase it from the list.)

didn't make it into the list last time.
Thanks! I'll double-check to see which of these are in the catalogue and put them on the list.
Dunbar is a little difficult, since the "complete" collection effectively makes it unnecessary to do all of his collections individually. But I'll put them all there for posterity's sake regardless.

I came across this paragraph in one of the books I'm BCing right now (20th Century Negro Literature):
In 1895, Mrs. Dunbar's first book, "Violets and Other Tales," was published by the Monthly Review Publishing Company, Boston. The next book, "The Goodness of St. Rocque," published by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, in 1899, was favorably received by some of the best critics. Mrs. Dunbar has written a number of short stories for some of the leading magazines and newspapers in the country, among them McClures, the Smart Set, Ladies' Home Journal, the Southern Workman, Leslie's Weekly, the New York Sun, Boston Transcript, and for over a year did regular work on the Chicago News.
We do have some of this woman's work in the catalogue already, including some of the short stories from these books, but not these books in their entirety.
Violets and Other Tales:

The Goodness of St. Rocque:

Gutenberg has one more from her, or rather a compilation, edited by her:
