Fragrant Saloon Poker Scene and Auction of a Woman and Child
A chaotic nineteenth century scene unfolds in a Natchez saloon where a twenty-deck poker game turns into a high-stakes auction for a light-skinned woman and her young son. Heavy gambling, threats, and a judge order the sale lead to a dramatic transfer as the boy is finally won by a planters’ group while Nina—called Ninette—enters a new life with Teresa and the judge.
