content: All but one item date from before 1916. Many pieces are early or pre-ragtime type compositions such as cake walks and characteristic two-step marches. Mills often prefaces the music with a character sketch or scene depicting rural Afro-American stereotypes. His non-ragtime work is filed elsewhere in the collection (indexed by name). (48 items)
