Old Negro Witness Testifies In Archibald Grub Foreclosure Case
A Tennessee plantation dispute unfolds as Colonel Archibald seeks relief from Anthony Grub who lent money and then sought foreclosure. An elderly slave named George Washington testifies with humorous misheard oaths and garbled recollections, revealing tensions of postwar freedmen and lingering power dynamics. The trial centers on whether Grub can claim the plantation through mortgage foreclosure and how testimony reflects race and memory in Reconstruction era commerce.
