Description Engraving portrays an episode described in Hildreth's fictional narrative. With blood- hounds in tow and "armed to the teeth," a party of mounted slave-hunters proceeds with two captured fugitives: the young man marching in front around whose neck a rope has been tied, and the older man, identified in the narrative as Wild Tom, who rides on horseback and whose arms are tied behind his back. In the center of the image, the lifeless body of Snapdragon, a Yankee overseer, is draped over a horse. He was killed by Wild Tom during the course of the man hunt.
