Voice From Harper's Ferry
'Voice From Harper's Ferry' Summary
In October 1859, abolitionist John Brown led a daring raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in an attempt to spark a slave rebellion. Among the group of raiders was Osborne Perry Anderson, a free Black man from Pennsylvania. Anderson's firsthand account of the raid, published in 1861, provides a unique perspective on this pivotal event in American history. Anderson's narrative begins with a description of his early life and his growing involvement in the abolitionist movement. He then details the planning and execution of the raid, including the group's hopes and fears. Anderson also provides a vivid account of the aftermath of the raid, including the capture and execution of John Brown. A Voice from Harper's Ferry is a貴重なhistorical document that sheds light on one of the most important events leading up to the Civil War. Anderson's firsthand account is a powerful reminder of the struggle for racial equality in America.Book Details
