Some Zulu Customs and Folk-lore
by L. H. Samuelson
About the author
L. H. Samuelson is the author credited for Some Zulu Customs and Folk-lore, a work published in 1905 and now preserved in major digital collections including Project Gutenberg, the Smithsonian Libraries, and HathiTrust.
Catalog records and digitized editions also connect this name with Zululand, Its Traditions, Legends and Customs. In some modern records, the name appears expanded as Levine Henrietta Samuelson, though the available sources are sparse, so biographical details beyond the published works are hard to confirm.
What stands out most is the subject matter: writing centered on Zulu beliefs, customs, legends, and everyday practices. Because so little verified personal information is readily available, Samuelson is remembered chiefly through these books and their continuing availability to modern readers.
