An Archaeological Survey of Barbados Battery: The Good Shepherd Project Ashby Muse Sturgis Virginia Beach, Virginia A Thesis presented to the Undergraduate Faculty of the College of William and Mary in Candidacy for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors Anthropology The College of William and Mary “Presently a soldier passing that way, and observing the dance, asked a mulatto who was standing by, for a cud of tobacco, and twisting it between his lower lip and his teeth, forced his way through the crowd, into the middle of the ring; and there placing himself, between the negro and the girl who were dancing, set the nymph in African step and figure. Wowski was responsive and they danced, cordially, together; but soon finished by footing it, in quick step, from the ring, happily enfolded in each others’ arms; to the great disappointment of poor Sambo, who, no doubt, thought to regain his partner as soon as the soldier had grown tired of the dance.”-George Pinckard, 1796.
