- Description
-
Mike, an enslaved man owned by Henry Hull, worked in the cotton fields along with the other hands on the plantation.
Partial Transcript: "I well remember old Uncle Mike. The patriarch and foreman of the plantation. No hired overseer gave him orders. To his master alone was he answerable. With his white wooley head and benign black face, the asperity of his dignity softened by the courtliness of his manner, he would call up the hands with his cheerful "come boys!" and lead them to the cotton field." - Event Type
