About the Book

This historical novel provides eye-witness accounts of the John Brown insurrection from famous people like Robert E. Lee, from John Brown’s family, and from ordinary citizens like Margarette Brown and Christine Fouke.

The information has been gathered by two of the raiders who escaped and live to tell about it -- Owen Brown, one of John Brown’s sons, and Osborne Anderson, a colored man.
