Description

A Voice from Harpers Ferry is a powerful abolitionist testimony by Osborne Perry Anderson, the last surviving black participant in the historic 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry led by John Brown. This compelling narrative explores the motivations and meticulous preparations for the raid, recounts the dramatic events that transpired over those pivotal days in October 1859, and follows Andersons daring escape. The book concludes with a poignant selection of poems celebrating Brown and the broader movement for abolition. (summary by JR Martin)
