The Spider 1897 "Dick Richard"
Dublin Core
Title
The Spider 1897 "Dick Richard"
Description
This short story, appearing in the 1897 edition of the University of Richmond’s yearbook The Spider, details the life of Dick Ricard: a Black boy with a talent for yodeling. Writing in a mocking, paternalistic tone, the author L. R. Hamberlin exclaims that Dick “had no soul” and “at the first opportunity took to crime as a duck to water.” The story concludes with Dick narrowly escaping his sentence to the State penitentiary. A racist caricature of Dick Richards accompanies the short story on page 32.
