"Truman Nelson's biography of John Brown is a refreshing and
eloquent corrective to the common misconceptions about the
character and actions of this extraordinary American hero."--Howard
Zinn
On October 16, 1859, John Brown led a historic attack on the
Harper's Ferry Armory. Nelson narrates the incredible events that
unfolded that day and explodes the conventional dismissal of John
Brown as a fanatic, presenting him as a revolutionary who, at the
cost of his own life, helped bring an end to slavery.
After Brown's execution, the great abolitionist Frederick
Douglass said of him, "If John Brown did not end the war that ended
slavery, he did at least begin the war that ended slavery. . . .
Until this blow was struck, the prospect for freedom was dim,
shadowy and uncertain. The irrepressible conflict was one of words,
votes and compromises. When John Brown stretched forth his arm, the
sky was cleared. The time for compromises was gone--the armed hosts
of freedom stood face to face over the chasm of a broken Union--and
the clash of arms was at hand. The South staked all upon getting
possession of the Federal Government, and failing to do that, drew
the sword of rebellion and thus made her own, and not Brown's, the
lost cause of the century."
Truman Nelson (1911-1987) wrote many books, including "The
Surveyor "and "The Right of Revolution."
