Henry Anderson (born c. 1800) was an American 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. [1] His were said to be the "most musical of all cries", and he was noted for his "strong resonant ' tenor robusto'". [2]
Two examples of his cries:
De hominy man is on his way
From de navy yard
With his harmony [4]
