Image description

Sheet music cover depicting a male runaway slave, Uncle Sam. "The Great Slave Song, respectfully dedicated to Anderson, the fugitive slave & sung with immense success by T. Maclagan." Written by G. W. Hunt with music by Frederic Archer. Dating based on dedication to "Anderson the Fugitive Slave." As a runaway slave, Anderson killed a bounty hunter in 1853 and escaped to Canada. He was pursued by the U.S. government and put on trial for murder in 1860, and exonerated in accordance with British law. The song could have been dedicated any time during or after his ordeal.
