Huck doesn't tell us how many slaves live and work at this "one-horse plantation," but you see two of them in this illustration -- the only time Kemble includes more than one slave in a picture. In Chapter 34 Huck and Tom visit "the nigger cabins," where, Huck says, "[t]he niggers was just getting through breakfast and starting for the fields," but this picture shows the kitchen door of the Phelps' main house.
