Vermont Public Radio: john brown
VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with an author and a historian about the life and legacy of John Brown.
To some 19th century abolitionist John Brown was a folk hero. To others he was a violent terrorist. To this day Brown is considered one of the more controversial figures of the 1800s. Tomorrow, December 2nd, marks the 150th anniversary of Brown's execution following his failed raid at Harper's Ferry Virginia.
