Biography:
An unspecified number of black men are present in the camp to cook and do other odd jobs during Major de Spain's annual hunting trip. As blacks and as servants, they tend to be ignored or not noticed by the white hunters except when they are sought for some reason, as happens when Major de Spain calls for Old Man Ash to fetch him a drink when Ash has gone to the Indian mound. One of these other black servants appears with the "demijohn and fixings" and reports that Ash has gone "up to'ds de mound" and would be back by daylight (74).
Note:
I put the Hunting Camp Kitchen as place of first mention, as this seems to be the first place they are explicitly referred to, but a case could be made for the camp.
