John Brown's 1859 Raid - Lecture

Wednesday, October 20

Ron Wilson will talk on the action at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, that many believe helped spark our nation's bloody Civil War. In 1859, fanatical abolitionist Brown, with 21 men, captured the U.S. Armory & Arsenal with the hope of inciting a slave rebellion. Instead he was captured, tried for treason, and hung.
