Meer over het boek

Focusing on the raid led by John Brown in 1859, this historical non-fiction account delves into the motivations behind the abolitionist's actions and the political climate of the era. James Redpath, a journalist and abolitionist who witnessed key events, provides a detailed narrative enriched with personal anecdotes and interviews from those directly involved, including Brown's followers and local community members. This work serves as a significant resource for understanding the complexities of abolitionism and its role in the lead-up to the American Civil War.
