This copy of Hurston's personal account of voodoo and superstition in Haiti and Jamaica was owned by Rachel Hanna Fulton (1895-1984), of Columbus, Ohio. Rachel was the wife of William Duane Fulton, Jr. (1889-1958). Passenger lists for departures from New York, Hawaii, New Orleans, and California, indicate that after their 1917 marriage the couple traveled widely to destinations throughout Europe and elsewhere, including, as evidenced by Fulton's inscription, to Haiti and Jamaica.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
