Uncle Toms Cabin, was about this man and his nephew that lived in the swamps of Louisiana. Uncle Tom had a cabin in the swamp where he lived. Now the sheriff of the town was a dirty, crook of a law enforcer. Him and a deputy killed two people and brought them down to a part of the swamp called The Wishing Well. They threw the bodies in the water and let them sink down so they could not be found.
