An intimate narrative of John Brown and his family in the Adirondack Mountains.
With passion and sound scholarship, Sandra Weber introduces a fresh and intimate portrayal of John Brown in his time and favorite place, the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. This intertwining story of sublime scenery and human rights concentrates on John's relationships with his family and black neighbors, which brings forth the essence of the man: his inner self, moral fiber, and principles. Weber reveals a vital piece of the John Brown story. It creates a conduit through which to reconcile the poor pioneer farmer, family patriarch, preacher, and devoted friend of blacks with John Brown's public persona.
Sandra Weber is the author of numerous magazine articles and several books, including The Woman Suffrage Statue and Adirondack Roots: Stories of Hiking, History and Women. She lives in a log cabin in the Adirondacks, about twenty-five miles from the John Brown Farm.
