Henry Anderson

Henry Anderson (born 1800) was a Philadelphia-area street vendor known as "The Hominy Man", who became a local legend, beginning in about 1828, for his cries, which he used to hawk his wares. [Hester, pg. 48] His were said to be the "most musical of all cries", and he was noted for his "strong resonant 'tenor robusto'". [Southern, pgs. 124-125]

Two examples of his cries:

:"Hominy man come out today":"For to sell his hominay" [Southern, pg. 125 cites ]
