An abolitionist and a spy, father and son, in the forgotten Western
theater of the Civil War The abolitionist legacies of Orville Brown
and his son, Spencer, live on in this historic and daring
19th-century account. Journeying apart from each other, but with
similar passion, Orville and Spencer's stories span virtually every
major abolitionist event: from the battles of Bleeding Kansas and
the establishment of the free-soil movement to the river wars of
Memphis, Vicksburg, and Shiloh. Readers will follow Orville west as
he struck out for Kansas Territory to help ensure its entry as a
free state. But the life of his precocious eldest son, Spencer,
serves as an eventful accompaniment to Orville's own adventures. As
a young Navy recruit in the Civil War's Western theater, Spencer
volunteered to go behind enemy lines on numerous occasions. With
his bold sleuthing and detailed diaries, Spencer's life unfolds
vividly against the exciting backdrop of the Union and Confederate
battle for control of the Mississippi River. The lives of these
daring men are a fortifying record of American perseverance.
