Uncle Tom's Cabin Exhibit at World Fair Opens Old Cabin Relic
The real cypress cabin claimed as Uncle Tom's is to be shown at the Chicago Columbian Exposition. Owner S. Chopin preserves the relic from the slave era, with famed sculptors and guards shaping the landmark for national curiosity. Colonel Edmund Rice leads the guard force, aiming for 2,500 recruits, many educated, to patrol the grounds. Arkansas builds a female-designed pavilion by Miss Jean Loughborough, now Mrs. Frank M. Douglass, in Chicago.
