Burnt Cork & Melody: A New Minstrel Folio
By Fred Hillebrand
(1893-1963)
This is a script for a complete minstrel show.
Published in 1953, this folio represents one of the era's last published amateur minstrel show scripts.
The folio celebrates minstrel performers and tunes popular at the turn of the century.
Fittingly, the folio centers around the theme,
We are the Ghosts of Minstrel Land.
