Description
"No study of the American Civil War is complete without an understanding of the events that unfolded in Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. Abolitionist John Brown became a martyr to many through his raid on the federal arsenal there, in support of a slave rebellion. But he became a reviled enemy to those opposed to abolition. This in-depth account provides many fascinating details of the planning of the raid, such as Brown s attempt to recruit Frederick Douglass to the cause. It also explains the aftershocks of the attack in a nation truly on the brink of war." --,Provided by publisher.
