A Seminal Work on John Brown of Kansas and Harpers Ferry, Oct 13 2009

This review is from: To Purge This Land with Blood (Hardcover)
I cannot recommend too highly this 1971 work by Stephen B. Oates on John Brown's life and times, it is one of the most balanced and readable biographies of a man who has had over 70+ works written on him since his death in 1859. Brown is, and was, a difficult man to handle by any standard morality context, but he was willing to do what others only spoke about guardedly, and that was to take on the grave evil that existed in this land under the cognomen of "Slavery". We are still wrestling wioth its ill effects 150 years later, and no where more so then here in the South, it is the skeleton in too many closets. The 16th of October will be the 150th of Brown's Raid on the United States Armory at Harpers Ferry, (W)Va, and I recommend that if you can get there for the event, your eyes will be opened. Get a copy of this book and read it, you will be enlightened.
