Journey through history

Terry and Greg have researched and travelled to understand more about the life and death of John Brown.
On October 16, 1859, he led 21 men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His plan to arm slaves with the weapons he and his men seized from the arsenal was thwarted, however, by local farmers, militiamen, and Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Within 36 hours of the attack, most of Brown's men had been killed or captured. Said Henry David Thoreau in an address to the citizens of Concord, Massachusetts. "No man in America has ever stood up so persistently and effectively for the dignity of human nature. . . ." John Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859.

One of the two men to survive the raid at Harpers Ferry wrote "A Voice From Harper's Ferry" and this song is in his voice.  Dangerfields wife and children were sold to a slave dealer in Louisiana when Dangerfield failed to come and free them. Dangerfield died with the letter from his wife Harriet, begging him to come before their financailly strapped owner would sell them off.

"We should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we
should look around and see what other course is open to us."        Rachel Carson

Thanks to all well wishers with my current battle with neurotoxic poisoning and chemical sensitivities
