    • Trivia
      Thomas Bowers was a real life African-American opera singer in the 19th Century.
    • Goofs
      While the description of the runaway slave may have have resembled Thomas Bowers, they surely would not have had similar singing voices. Thomas could have easily proven his identity by just singing for the sheriff. The voice of such a world renowned singer would be unmistakable and unable to re reproduced by anyone else.
