Gordon (slave)
}}
Gordon, or Whipped Peter, was a slave on a Louisiana plantation who made his escape from bondage in March 1863, became a contraband, and went on to serve as a soldier in the United States Colored Troops.〔Rymer, Eric. "Ten days from today I left the plantation". Historylink101〕 The carte de visite photographs showing Gordon's flagellation scars were frequently used by abolitionists throughout the United States and internationally.〔"The Scourged Slave's Back". The Liberator (Boston, Massachusetts). September 4, 1863. p. 3〕 In July 1863 these images appeared in an article about Gordon published in ''Harper's Weekly'', the most widely read journal during the Civil War.〔Heidler 2002〕 The pictures of Gordon's scourged back provided Northerners with visual evidence of brutal treatment of slaves and inspired many free blacks to enlist in the Union Army.〔Goodyear III, Frank H. "Photography changes the way we record and respond to social issues". Smithsonian Institution〕
==Escape==
Gordon escaped from the plantation of John and Bridget Lyons, who owned nearly forty slaves at the time of the 1860 census.〔Abruzzo, Margaret (March 29, 2011). Polemical Pain: Slavery, Cruelty, and the Rise of Humanitarianism. JHU Press. p. 309.〕〔Population schedules of the eighth census of the United States, 1860, Louisiana〕 The Lyons plantation was located along the west bank of the Atchafalaya River in St. Landry Parish, between present-day Melville and Krotz Springs, Louisiana.〔Lyons Shaw, Adonica. "Captain John lyons of st landry parish"〕
In order to mask his scent from the bloodhounds who were chasing him, Gordon took onions from his plantation, which he carried in his pockets. After crossing each creek or swamp, he rubbed his body with these onions in order to throw the dogs off his scent. He fled over 〔"Civil War CDV of African American Contraband, Baton Rouge, La.". Cowan's Auctions.〕 over the course of ten days before reaching Union soldiers of the XIX Corps who were stationed in Baton Rouge.〔"A Typical Negro." ''Harper's Weekly'': 429. July 4, 1863.〕
