Well, I didn't recognize your voice, but I did your name, and knew I was going to be in for a treat. I loved the different ways you read the different types of sections. All are PL OK.

Thanks,

Clarifying script for Section 17 Jenny McKee:
1) Larry, you said to not read Picture Captions, I'm thinking the John Redman his mark part (section on adoption paper) is considered a picture caption so I shouldn't read it?
If so, how exactly do you differentiate between the adoption paper part and rest of the narrative, or is pause and voice tone
how it's done? (I'm a newbie still doing some major learning in this craft

2) I'm thinking the last section starting "The first deed to be put on record..." would be a footnote, and shouldn't be read? Want to be sure before
recording.

Thanks for checking in on this.

Well, there is no picture here, so no real caption.
This is all part of the report, including the last part which is not really a footnote.

So, just read it exactly as written. As you suggest, you can just use pauses and intonation to indicate
"x
John Redman
his mark"

I'll admit that there are a lot of irregularities in these transcripts of oral interviews done in the field, written, transcribed, then typeset, by multiple different interviewers and transcribers. We do the best we can.

So glad to have you part of the LibriVox community.

Thanks Larry

Question on Section 17: Jenny McKee

Second last paragraph, that starts "Aunt Jenny has the history..." The very next sentence doesn't make any sense to me, which makes it hard to know how to read. I'm thinking it should actually be two sentences with, "then" actually being "there" which would make sense.
If I read as its written, that's fine, but thought I would check.

Thanks

Great job. Both sections 24 and 25 are PL OK.

I think it is just awful when the slave owners went beyond "punishment" into downright torture. Sticking pins in someone qualifies as torture to me. What got into those people that they thought it was okay to torture and murder another human being solely on the basis of skin color. Well, it actually shouldn't be done period. Simply brutal and appalling.

Loved listening to you read this. It really fit the section in my mind. There is just one minor correction for this to be PL OK.

5:53 should be "12" not "10" in "small rigid-pole about 12 feet in length."

You are a really good reader, clear and easy to understand.

Thanks,

M
