Olmsted

Olmsted gives a price list which was handed him by a dealer; that was in 1853.

Olmsted saw no resource but gradual emancipation with suitable training.

Taking up again the religious instruction of the slaves, Olmsted found "that there were widely different practices in that State."

Olmsted says: 'I much doubt if the harvest demand of the principal cotton districts of Mississippi adds five per cent.

In 1853 Olmsted made a famous journey through the seaboard States, holding up his mirror to the life of the South in slavery days.
