To Purge this Land with Blood
To Purge this Land with Blood: A Biography of John Brown | Stephen B. Oates
1 post | 2 to read
Nearly one hundred fifty years after his epochal Harpers Ferry raid to free the slaves, John Brown is still one of the most controversial figures in American history. In 1970, Stephen B. Oates wrote what has come to be recognized as the definitive biography of Brown, a balanced assessment that captures the man in all his complexity. The book is now back in print in an updated edition with a new prologue by the author.

#GratefulHarvest #Brown Abolitionist John Brown tried to start a slave rebellion in Harpers Ferry , WV. His reaction was often violent, much different from most Abolitionists who put pen to paper or made speeches about the evils of slavery.I visited Harpers Ferry, took a long tour w/ a NPS ranger giving details of what transpired there.I tell you, it was a beautiful place & brought out an emotional response to the place in me I can‘t forget .
