Uncle Nat and Town Drunks in a County Court Row
A historical court record describes Uncle Nat a veteran and older Black man drunkenly recounting slavery memories after being found asleep in an alley.

Other cases include Jerry Goins’s drunken spree and a mother seeking help for Eula, a fifteen year old, in a rambling, taunting account with minor punitive outcomes.
