Condition: Good. 14 x 7 cm. sepia toned photo onf 18 x 9 cm. green stereo card. Barefoot Man sitting in a chair and dressed in pants, coat, vest and hat with a stick or leash in one hand and his other hand on the head of large dog lying on the ground beside him. No information on front or back of slightly curved stereo card to it publisher. William Jackson had been enslaved by George W. Jones and hired out by him for $20 a month to Jefferson Davis as a coachman. Jackson forged a pass and escaped North in 1862 without his family when he feared that he was going to be sold South. He was debriefed by Union officers and provided helpful information about Davis and his wife and the activities and plans of the Confederates. Unfortunately the suit-wearing individual on this card is also barefoot which seems quite unlikely to have been true for Mr. Jackson. His features also seem to be considerably at variance with contemporary illustrations picturing Jackson. Nonetheless, an unusual stereo card with an unidentified African American male. Probably intended to be be humorous because of the suit and bare feet.

All of the cards found online had the titling and other verbage on the front of the card. We know nothing about chronology among these cards. We also don't know if Uncle Jack was in fact then the oldest l;iving inhabitant of St. Augustine.
