Synopsis

Louisa Picquet, The Octoroon: Or Inside Views of Southern Domestic Life [Illustrated Edition] "I WAS born in Columbia, South Carolina. My mother's name was Elizabeth. She was a slave owned by John Randolph,* and was a seamstress in his family. She was fifteen years old when I was born. Mother's mistress had a child only two weeks older than me. Mother's master, Mr. Randolph, was my father. So mother told me. She was forbid to tell who was my father, but I looked so much like Madame Randolph's baby that she got dissatisfied, and mother had to be sold. Then mother and me was sent to Georgia, and sold. I was a baby--don't remember at all, but suppose I was about two months old, may be older." [Illustrated Edition]
