Meticulous historical detail blends with dramatic personal descriptions to reveal critical episodes in Brown's life, illuminating his character and the motives that led up to the Harpers Ferry invasion, giving readers a complete picture of the man who has too often been dismissed as hopelessly fanatical. Brown's friendship with Frederick Douglass and their ongoing debate on how to end slavery, his devoted family who stands by him despite the danger, and his struggles to secure funding and political favor for his cause against deeply entrenched politicians, makes for a surprisingly contemporary story of family, passion, race, and politics"--Provided by publisher."A fictionalized account of militant abolitionist John Brown's three-year war on slavery, from his involvement in "Bleeding Kansas" to the invasion of Harpers Ferry"--Provided by publisher.AbolitionistsUnited StatesFictionKansasHistory1854-1861FictionAbolitionists813.54FIC014000bisacshKarl Herb1245759MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158659503321The insurrectionist2889083UNINA
