A Boston reader seeks a cheerful fad and ends at Black Joe tale
In Somerville Journal style, a Boston reader yearns for a light fad while a Harrowed 1856 tale unfolds. Holbrook, a Mississippi planter, recalls buying Joe, a enslaved man, to save Lilly as fire destroys a house. Joe rescues Lilly, then remains faithful, wife and child in tow, with promises of manumission in his will.
