John Brown: The Thundering Voice of Jehova

A graphic pictorial history of the life and legacy of John Brown written by Stan Cohen. The informative text is illustrated with a wealth of photographs, portraits, drawings, etchings, paintings, and original facsimile reprints of letters, newspaper reports, and handbills. John Brown was born 24 years after the 13 colonies declared independence and died a tragic death by a hangman's noose, just 16 months before the United States was torn apart by civil war. His life, which paralleled the rapid growth of the new country, was filled with business reversals, personal tragedies and a fervent moral conviction about the institution of slavery that consumed his later life. It would lead to his and many others' deaths, including several of his sons. Some say he was the spark that ignited the Civil War. What Brown did by his desire to free the slaves in the southern states was to go down in history as one of the most controversial figures of his time and his name is forever etched in the pages of American history books.       196 pages.
