John Brown, Abolitionist
David Reynolds

David Reynolds profiles the life of abolitionist John Brown. In "John Brown, Abolitionist," the author discusses John Brown's commitment to the abolition of slaves, his political struggles between good and evil, and how significant his Puritan background was to his lifestyle. Mr. Reynolds compares his attack on the armory in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia on October 16, 1859 to modern terrorism. This event was hosted by the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Vienna, Virginia.
