James Bland, born of free Negro parents in New York, musically well educated, a brilliant graduate of Howard University. He joined a Negro minstrel show company (of which there were not many) and wrote more than seven hundred songs for minstrel use, copyrighting only a few. "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" (1878) alone was enough to place Bland with the popular immortals.
 "They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Aroun'" was a comedy favorite for years.
