Old John Brown

By Walter Hawkins

Book Overview

""Old John Brown"" is a biography written by Walter Hawkins about the life of John Brown, a prominent figure in the abolitionist movement in the mid-19th century. Brown was known for his radical views and actions, including his involvement in the Kansas-Nebraska border wars and his famous raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Hawkins delves into Brown's early life, his religious beliefs, and his commitment to ending slavery in America. The book also explores Brown's relationships with other abolitionists, his trial and execution, and his lasting impact on the Civil War and the fight for civil rights. Through detailed research and analysis, Hawkins provides a comprehensive look at the life of one of America's most controversial historical figures.But not long could he stay at home. The year of Jubilee for all these bondmen was his one thought, and he found friends who regarded him as a tried man and were prepared to trust him implicitly. Such men as Beecher and Theodore Parker gave him help spiritual; men like the wealthy Stearns gave him help financial to the extent of many thousand dollars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
