13524 Prentice-Hall, Inc. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, USA 1956 Hard Cover Good Red/White pictorial printer wrapper. Volume has wear on the edges, rubbing. Now in protective wrap. From the Foreword: "What happened at Harper's Ferry? This book does not answer that question; it is designed rather to provide you with the best means possible of answering it yourself - the facts. Presented here is a selection of contemporaneous accounts and opinion so widely varied in its coverage that a casual reader's initial reaction may well be one of bewilderment to the sharp disparities between the accounts. No attempt is made here to synthesize or interpret these primary sources; that is up to you. This very conflict and diversity of reactions to John Brown's raid are the substance of its undiminished fascination; this abortive, ill-fated act of a handful of men touched off a controversy whose blaze illumined a cleavage of passion and principle that was soon to find its resolution in a bloody Civil War." $9.00USD
