The Whipping of Jamie Brown

Jamie went back to here cell in the jail. The sheriff and the doctor came to Jamie’s cell to talk about what was going to happen to her during the whipping. Jamie was told that she would be led to the center of town by the sheriff. At the center of town people would watch the whipping happen. The Doctor would be the one to do the whipping and do the treatment after it was over.

At 9:00 am Jamie was led to the center of the town by the sheriff, Jamie saw that everyone in town was there to see her be whipped. The sheriff read the orders of the whipping for Jamie. Jamie was told by the Doctor to take off her shirt; Jamie did as she was told to do. Jamie was completely naked; she was tied to a post, with her back facing the Doctor. The Doctor took the whip and pops it few times in the air to warm up his arm, and then he started his job of whipping Jamie. The first lash hit her back, Jamie yell loudly, but the third lash Jamie was crying begging for them to stop. With every lash the whip made a cut in her skin, and Jamie cries and yells got worst. After about 100 lashes the Doctor stopped and cut Jamie down from the post. Jamie had cuts from the top of her back all the way down to top of her legs; she was crying and bleeding. Everyone in town just watch as the Doctor treated Jamie for about an hour. Some of the ranch hands took her home to recover from her whipping. Jamie made a full recovery in about month. Jamie lived on her ranch for many years, helping everyone that needed help every chance she got. She show out her scars to anyone who want to hear of the story of the only woman to be whipping in her home for helping a run away slave until she died of old age.
