Ein Geheimnis rankt sich um den Großen Schreckenssumpf, in dem Dred, der Sohn eines getöteten aufständischen Negersklaven, Schutz und Zuflucht gefunden hat. Er konnte Freunde um sich sammeln und denkt daran, das Werk seines Vaters fortzusetzen. In weitem Umkreis flüstert man von ihm, raunt sich gegenseitig zu: "Wenn du Hilfe brauchst, geh zu Dred!" Und er, der selber ständig von den Sklavenjägern gehetzt wird, er ist immer zur Stelle, wenn er gebraucht wird, er kennt die Wege durch den Sumpf, und er scheut keine Gefahren, nicht die Jäher und nicht die Hunde, die auf seine Spur gesetzt werden. Die Herren wollen - sie müssen ihn in ihre Hände bekommen, denn solange er frei ist, laufen ihnen die Sklaven davon, zu ihm, zu Dred in den Großen Schreckenssumpf. Unter Verwendung zweier Übersetzungen aus dem Amerikanischen von Marie Heine (Leipzig, 1856) und August Kretzschmar (Wurzen 1857) bearbeitet von Jörg Hildebrandt. Gekürzte Fassung.
