Other writers describing Brown-Séquard’s time in Richmond attributed to his students, without citation, work that I have given to Anarcha or other enslaved persons—the construction of the animals’ cages, their care, the discovery of Brown-Séquard covered with fly-paper varnish (see “…fly-paper varnish,” above), and so on.
