This slim volume is subtitled "Twenty-seven Oral Histories of Former South Carolina Slaves." It's a selection of remembrances collected up during the Great Depression -- part of the Federal Writers' Project that provided work for writers in need. They interviewed former slaves and made detailed notes about their memories. All their interviews are preserved at the Library of Congress, but those are inaccessible for most people, so Hurmence put a selection of them in this book so people like you and I can read them.
And they're fascinating. Everyone in this was at least 10 when the Civil War ended, so they had clear memories of slavery. But that's about all they have in common -- every story is different. Some sadder than others, some clearer than others, some more bitter or more angry or even more wistful than others.
If you're at all interested in American history, this book presents some really wonderful first-hand accounts.
