Actually, it was raining before the auction started, which prevented many buyers from coming. In today's dollars, the amount Pierce Mease Butler made of the sale of 429 humans (7 were not sold because of illness or some other incapacity) was over ten million dollars. A horrible, horrible time in the history of the US, and these poor people. ..Joe
