Creating the John Brown Legend: Emerson, Thoreau, Douglass, Child and Higginson in Defense of the Raid on Harpers Ferry
Janet Kemper Beck
Early press reaction to John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry ranged from indignant horror in the South to stunned disbelief in the North. This book explores the moment when literature and history collided and literature rewrote history. It features 30 photographs, maps, proclamations and broadsides and a timeline of events surrounding the raid.
