John Brown

By Hermann von Holst

Book Overview

""John Brown"" is a book written by Hermann Von Holst that tells the story of one of the most controversial figures in American history, John Brown. Brown was a passionate abolitionist who believed that slavery was a moral evil that needed to be eradicated. He became famous for his raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859, which he hoped would spark a slave rebellion. The raid failed, and Brown was captured, tried, and executed for his actions. The book explores Brown's life, his motivations, and the events that led up to his raid on Harpers Ferry. It also examines the impact that Brown had on the abolitionist movement and the wider struggle for civil rights in the United States. The book is a detailed and insightful look at one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
