A $100 reward headlines this 1860 handbill from Ripley County, Missouri, offering payment for the capture and return of a Black man who had fled. Slaveholders printed notices like this one to recover people they claimed as property, listing a description and a promise of payment to anyone who delivered them back. This picture is a photographic reproduction of that original broadside, made sometime between 1960 and 1990. Such notices reveal both the constant flight of enslaved people and the legal and economic machinery built to stop them.
