The Geography of Slavery

Virginia Gazette or American Advertiser (Hayes),
Richmond, April 16, 1785.

RUN away from the Subscriber, about a week ago, a copper coloured mulatto fellow named DICK, he is about twenty years of age, tall, and well proportioned, and has a large scar over one of his eyes. I suppose him to be in or near Richmond, as he lived there for the last three years, and is said to have a wife at the Treasurer's. Whoever will secure him in the public Gaol, shall have a GUINEA reward, or TWO GUINEAS for delivering him to me at this place. BENJAMIN HARRISON. CHARLES-CITY, Berkley, April 6, 1785.
