Comments
A man is blowing a "horn by which buyers are summoned to a tobacco sale" (p. 560). Original sketch made by J. Wells Chamney who accompanied the author during 1873 and the spring and summer of 1874. Although relating to the post-emancipation period, the scene evokes the later ante-bellum years.
