Biography: 

The crowd that watches as the coffin carrying Samuel Beauchamp is taken off the train contains a "number of Negroes and whites both" (363). The Negroes include "men and women too," but this icon represents the group of "idle white men and youths and small boys" who are there. There do not seem to be any white women among the spectators (363).
