Item Description
This historical novel provides eye-witness accounts of the John Brown insurrection from famous people like Robert E. Lee, from John Brown?s family, and from ordinary citizens like Margarette Brown and Christine Fouke. The information has been gathered by two of the raiders who escaped and live to tell about it -- Owen Brown, one of John Brown?s sons, and Osborne Anderson, a colored man. You will read about the preparations, the raid, the trials, the executions and the aftermath of the event. You decide -- was John Brown a hero or a scoundrel?
This book, which took over 3 1/2 years to write, contains new information most John Brown books do not include. Amongst that information is documentation from the trial of John Brown and the escape of seven of his raiders. Two of the raiders were captured, but five totrally got away.
Item Special Note
