"John Brown the Hero: Personal Reminiscences" by J. W. Winkley
John Brown was an American abolitionist leader. First reaching national prominence for his radical abolitionism and fighting in Bleeding Kansas, he was eventually captured and executed for a failed incitement of a slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry preceding the American Civil War. His work inspired many, and though he's often overlooked, he's an American hero. In this book, the author injects his own opinions on this historic figure to show him the respect he deserves.
