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"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"A fictionalized account of militant abolitionist John Brown's three-year war on slavery, from his involvement in "Bleeding Kansas" to the invasion of Harpers Ferry"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$vFiction 607 $aKansas$xHistory$y1854-1861$vFiction 615 0$aAbolitionists 676 $a813.54 686 $aFIC014000$2bisacsh 700 $aKarl$b Herb$01245759 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158659503321 996 $aThe insurrectionist$92889083 997 $aUNINA
