However, the real Whittington did not come from a poor family of common stock, and there is no compelling evidence supporting the stories about the cat, or even whether he owned one.]]> University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks ]]> s0094b32]]> University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks ]]> National Library of Scotland ]]> s0615b41]]> s0141b34]]> "Jump Jim Crow" or "Jim Crow" is a song and dance from 1828 that was done in blackface by white minstrel performer Thomas Dartmouth (T. D.) "Daddy" Rice. The song is speculated to have been taken from Jim Crow (sometimes called Jim Cuff or Uncle Joe), a physically disabled enslaved African, who is variously claimed to have lived in St. Louis, Cincinnati, or Pittsburgh. The song became a 19th-century hit and Rice performed all over the United States as "Daddy Pops Jim Crow"."--Wikipedia]]> s0368b43]]> s0564b74]]> s0024ADb76]]> s0024ADb76]]> University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks ]]> s0368b45]]>
