The Doctor to the Dead is a collection of twenty-three folk tales, legends, and ghost stories set in or near old Charleston in South Carolina. Author John Bennett collected and published these stories from African-Americans in the early twentieth century and assembled them in one volume in the 1940s. The first twenty stories are written in modern English but the last three are published in the Gullah dialect. Some of the stories have allusions to important people and events in South Carolina history such as John C. Calhoun, Denmark Vesey, Gullah Jack, and the Civil War. Race relations, punishment, pride, and death are some of the themes explored in these wonderful tales. The vivid imagery and descriptive language make these stories a real pleasure to read. My favorite story is The Army of the Dead which tells how wounded Confederate soldiers who died at the Trapman Street Hosptial go on to reinforce General Robert E. Lee in Virginia. If you like legends, folk tales, ghost stories, Charleston, and the South you cannot miss this book. Highly recommended.
