If You Didn't Get the Chance to Be Offended Before...

I've added the photos for a version of the book I found on Ebay. The book was called "Ten Little Niggers" and was originally published by McLoughlin Bros, New York, in 1897. The version I had found yesterday made the men look like apes and had sheet music for this song...it was by far more offensive and infuriating. Apparently, this was a very popular nursery rhyme at the the time. Yet another example of how ignorant white people can be such assholes.
