Biography: 

As the Bundrens enter Jefferson from the south they pass "negro cabins" along the road (229). As the wagon passes a group of "three negroes" walking on the road, they react with "that expression of shock and instinctive outrage" that has accompanied the Bundrens along their route (229). One of the men in this group exclaims "Great God . . . what they got in that wagon?" (229).

Note: 
the assumption that these are males is perhaps unfounded also the location should probably be Red Sand Hill outside Jefferson or something like that.
