Biography:
In Flags in the Dust, Dr. Peabody's household of black servants includes, to quote his dehumanizing description, "six or seven registered ones" as well as "a new yearlin' every day or so" (303). Like Abe, the only servant who is named, their main task seems to be assisting the gentlemen and ladies who come to fish at the doctor's pond.
