Bishop supplied the story idea and some notes, paying Lovecraft to flesh it out in 1928. It was then published under Bishop's name in Weird Tales in 1929.

Some racial language in this one that was in common use a century ago but not so nice to use now. Ah well, it's a historical text, and I am not going to modify it, just know that the language used is the author's own and naught to do with me.

Otherwise, if you can get past that, it's a pretty good tale with a nice, horrific ending!

A quart is just shy of a liter (0.95 liters).

The pictures used is the copy of an image from a sandstone disk found at Carthage, Alabama.
