Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The John Brown Invasion: An Authentic History of the Harper´s Ferry Tragedy, With Full Details of the Capture, Trial, and Execution of the Invaders, and of All the Incidents Connected Therewith In the preparation of this history of the John Brown Invasion, the compiler has endeavored to give a faithful and connected narrative of events in the order of their occurrence. Noticing with what eager desire everything relating to the affair was sought by all classes of people, and the especial interest that was manifested in every circumstance that related personally to "The Hero of Harper´s Ferry," he has sought to combine in these pages every fact and incident relating to the event, which the friends and admirers of the man would wish to preserve, as mementoes of the simplicity of his character, the nobility of his purposes, the disinterestedness of his motives, the sublime heroism of his deeds, and the remarkable piety by which he was governed and sustained. The portrait which accompanies the work is pronounced by Captain Brown´s New England friends as the best ever taken. It is lithographed by Bufford, in the very best style of the art, from a photograph by Whipple, and will be recognized by all who were familiar with the features of the original, as a faithful delineation of the features of him, who has so recently and so forcibly illustrated the lines of the poet, that "Whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battles van, The fittest place for man to die Is where he dies for man."
