Printed in black on vellum interleaving accompanying photograph: After dark I drove to the place agreed upon to meet in a piece of woods // one mile from the town of Wirt. I had been at the appointed place but a very short time // when Mr. DeBaptiste sang out, “Here is $10,000 from Hunter’s Bottom tonight.” // A good Negro at that time would fetch from $1,000 up. // We loaded them in…and started with the cargo of human charges towards the North Star. // – JOHN H. TIBBETS ON AN ASSIGNMENT WITH THEUNDERGROUND RAILROAD
