	Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins, African American Pianist
		James Bethune protected himself against the possiblity of a Union victory in the Civil War by convincing Mingo and Charity Wiggins to sign an indenture agreement for Tom's services, on May 30, 1864, for a period of five years.

		Obviously the Bethunes had decided to retain the characterization of Tom as an "idiot" whose "incomprehensible creative and retentive powers" were the result of some "unexplained satanic gifts" as a promotional gimmick.
