Abstract
In October of 1859 John Brown and a number of his followers attempt to capture a town in Virginia named Harpers Ferry, hoping to strike a blow against slavery. The townspeople fight back and trap Brown, his followers and their 13 hostages in a fire engine house on the arsenal grounds at Harpers Ferry. As rumors magnify number of combatants and the severity of the situation, the Secretary of War dispatches Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stewart to handle crisis. Historian and writer Emory Thomas weaves the story of Brown's capture, his ultimate trial, and execution.
