  • The Second Raid on Harpers Ferry, July 29, 1899
    THE SECOND RAID ON HARPERS FERRY, JULY 29, 1899: THE OTHER BODIES THAT LAY A'MOULDERING IN THEIR GRAVES Gordon L. Iseminger University of North Dakota he first raid on Harpers Ferry, launched by John Brown and twenty-one men on October 16, 1859, ended in failure. The sec- ond raid on Harpers Ferry, a signal success and the subject of this article, was carried out by three men on July 29, 1899.' Many people have heard of the first raid and are aware of its significance in our nation's history. Perhaps as many are familiar with the words and tune of "John Brown's Body," the song that became popular in the North shortly after Brown was hanged in 1859 and that memorialized him as a martyr for the abolitionist cause. Few people have heard about the second raid on Harpers Ferry. Nor do many know why the raid was carried out, and why it, too, reflects significantly on American history. Bordering Virginia, where Harpers Ferry was located, Pennsylvania and Maryland figured in both the first and second raids. The abolitionist movement was strong in Pennsylvania, and Brown had many supporters among its members.

ANDERSON, u ONE OF THE NUMBER. BOSTON : PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR I 8 6 1 la axoh n^ Oornall Univ. S 9bb 06 PREFACE. My sole purpose in publishing the following Narrative is to save from oblivion the facts connected with one of the most important movements of this age, with reference to the overthrow of American slavery. My own personal experience in it, under the orders of Capt. Brown, on the 16th and 17th of October, 1859, as the only man alive who was at Harper's Ferry during the entire time — the unsuccessful groping after these facts, by individuals, impossible to be obtained, except from an actor in the scene — and the conviction that the cause of impartial liberty requires this duty at my hands — alone have been the motives for writing and cir- culating the little book herewith presented. I will not, under such circumstances, insult nor burden the intelligent with excuses for defects in composition, nor for the attempt to give the facts. A plain, unadorned, truthful story is wanted, and that by one who knows what he says, who is known to have been at the great en- counter, and to have labored in shaping the same.

  • Can Lit 182 Text EDIT
    Winfried Siemerling “May I See Some Identification?” Race, Borders, and Identities in Any Known Blood Race isn’t about skin colour. It’s about social categorization. — . every identity is actually an identification come to light. — 1 Our most post-identitarian moments and movements notwithstanding, identities are hardly a matter of the past. New constructions of identities and post-identities are continually wrought by historical subjects, the agents who invent or choose them, and who modify, resist, or discard them. “Unused” identities continue to exist as possible scripts, as virtual and often virulent realities until human actors put them into play, and through iden- tification use them in practice and performance. One of the important ways of crossing borders of identity is travel, a movement I explore here with respect to “Crossing Cultures,” “Frontiers of North American Identity,”1 and identities ascribed or self-ascribed through “race.” Identification, a transformative displacement or transposition and a form of cognitive travel, signals the crossing of borders of who we think we are, or who others think or say we are. Under the sign of “race,” however, identity, identifica- tion, and travel have worked in particularly “arresting” constellations. Through race, identity and identification were tied to pseudo-scientific laws of biology, abetting the enforced displacements and the end of free personal movement in the middle passage and in slavery, and the impeded mobility across social and economic lines ever after. Lawrence Hill continues to devise, from a Canadian vantage point, intriguing laboratories for the study of the intricate relations between iden- tification, identity, and race.

  • Historic Harpers Ferry in Jefferson County, West Virginia : Gateway Of
    1‘ HISTORIC HARPERS FERRY IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA -(Liv 4734 C Ghmwayof me£%mmm&mh * by CHARLOTTE JUDD FAIRBAIRN ~=+ Illustrated by VVILLIAM D. EUBANK _ Published by VV_HITNEY8: WHITE Ranson, W. Va. -RlJl.3?3 eases’,/‘/V COVER DESIGN The crest on the cover of this book was designed by the author to highlight various factors in early Harpers Fer­ ry history. It is not intended as a serious attempt to pro­ duce a coat-of-arms, but merely as a pleasing combina­ tion of significant symbols. The eagle represents the wildnative beauty of the local­ ity, and also the centering of national interest at the Ferry. The Stevens cabin is a reminder of the conquest of ' the wilderness by rugged early settlers. The foliage is an authentic drawing of the rare Asplenium totleri, found i only at Harpers Ferry. The saltire is formed of Hall's rifle, manufactured at Ha11’sRifle Works at the Ferry from 1820to 1861,and the Minie rifle, which for a short time was made at Harpers Ferry. The fess of railroad track is reminiscent of an exciting period in the Ferry’s history, when the B&0 raced the (3850 Canal to bring transportation to this important point. The millstone stands for the early Harper mill, and the milling and manufacturing interests concentrated at one time on the Island of Virginius. It is a symbol, too, of the tremendous water power which is one of Harpers Ferry’s greatest natural blessings. .‘. _ 1 ! 60'-"1557?

  • KANSAS HISTORY an “Idea of Things in Kansas”
    76 KANSAS HISTORY An “Idea of Things in Kansas” John Brown’s 1857 New England Speech edited by Karl Gridley n early January 1857, following his well-publicized year of guerrilla warfare waged on behalf of the free- state cause in eastern Kansas, John Brown embarked on a whirlwind speaking and fund-raising tour throughout New England. Brown, through the constant field reporting of James Redpath and William Phillips in Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune and Richard Hinton in the Boston Traveller, had become something of a celebrity in Boston and New York, even to the point of having a Broadway play produced Iabout his exploits.1 Born May 9, 1800, in Torrington, Connecticut, John Brown grew up in Hudson, Ohio, and the Western Re- serve. As a young man he worked in Ohio and Pennsylvania as a tanner and wool broker. He married twice and fathered twenty children. By the 1830s Brown, a devout Calvinist, became increasingly involved in the aboli- tionist movement, becoming friends with men such as Gerrit Smith and Frederick Douglass. In the late 1840s he moved to North Elba in upstate New York to farm and assist former slave families living in the area. By 1855 five of Brown’s sons had moved from drouth-stricken Ohio to Kansas to settle near Osawatomie. They wrote their father often of the troubles in the area resulting from the struggle over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. John Brown Jr. wrote his father that they needed arms “more than we do bread.” Soon John Brown joined his sons at Brown’s Station, Kansas.

  • Chitlin Circuit at Kennedy Farm Long Version
    (3200+ words) The Kennedy Farm From John Brown to James Brown A Place Ringing with Hope and History (Note: Because of the historical aspects of this article, and with the permission of several senior members of the Hagerstown African-American community, some dated synonyms for “African-Americans” have been employed.) The year is 1959. Negroes from Hagerstown, Winchester, Martinsburg and Charles Town have traveled over dark and potentially dangerous back-country roads to a common destination in southern Washington County, MD. Unbeknown to virtually the entire white community of the area, hundreds of colored people gather every weekend for a vital mission: to let the good times roll! Music-lovers spill out of jam-packed cars and stream toward the rhythmic sounds throbbing from a low-lying block building. Paying the cover charge (tonight it is $3), they duck inside to find the place in full swing. The large dance floor is packed with swaying bodies. Chairs ring the outside of the rectangular room, accommodating groups of young people engaged in lively conversation. The bartenders manning the long bar struggle to keep pace serving all the people eager to spend their hard-earned pay. At the far end of the long narrow structure, an electrifying entertainer dominates the scene. James Brown is on stage with his background vocalists, the Famous Flames. His instrumentalists, studded with pioneering rhythm and blues musicians from Little Richard’s former band, are laying down a funky groove. Brown’s footwork testifies that he once was an accomplished boxer. His sweat-drenched face gives credence to the claim that he is indeed the hardest working man in show business.

The last comprehensive management plan for the national historical park was completed in 1980. Much has changed since 1980 — visitor use patterns and types of use have changed, people want to bring new recreational activities to the national historical park, and an additional 1,240 acres were authorized for addition to the national historical park in 2004. Each of these changes has implications for how visitors access and use the national historical park and the facilities needed to support those uses, how resources are managed, and how the National Park Service manages its operations. This document examines three alternatives for managing Harpers Ferry National Historical Park for the next 20 years. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. The “no-action” alternative (alternative 1), continues existing NPS management and trends and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternatives.
