Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Brown, Liberator of Kansas and Martyr of Virginia Since the above was written, owen brown has died in California lewis hayden in Boston and james redpath in New York There is now no survivor, so far as I know, of John Brown's Company at Harper's Ferry; and few of those now living can testify of their own knowledge to the early-formed plans Of Brown for attacking slavery by force. A controversial writer in the Andover Review has lately questioned the exactness of any statement on this point; but he has since confessed himself satisfied, by the emphatic testimony of John Brown, Jr. Many interesting facts have come to light since 1885, but none requiring any material correction of this book.
