Harper's description: "The scene represented...was one which our artist...look at a few months ago...on the road from Columbus to Macon. It is by the road-side, on the outskirts of a Georgia plantation. A little child, almost white...is teaching her grandfather- a pure negro- to read. This little girl, with far more of "Southern chivalry" in her veins than of negro blood, was, or had been...a slave...She was now free; and her present occupation spoke of a new era for the negro race..."
