Title: ... Wood pile poems
Subtitle: By Betty Smith Foley
Description: ***Betty Smith Foley FOREWARD:***

**Throughout these poems I have tried faithfully to reproduce various phases of the life of the old-time Southern negro** - his awe of the supernatural, love of grand display, his genuine delight in the simple joys of life, his loyalty, service and devotion to his 'white folks, ' faith in the Almighty, and his deep religious fervor.

His homely philosophy has been immortalized in song and story, but **this book is dedicated to those readers who may be in sympathy with these chips of memory which I have picked up, as it were, from the old wood pile.  Betty Smith Foley.***
