This intertwining story of sublime scenery and human rights concentrates on John's relationships with his family and black neighbors, which brings forth the essence of the man: his inner self, moral fiber, and principles. Weber reveals a vital piece of the John Brown story. It creates a conduit through which to reconcile the poor pioneer farmer, family patriarch, preacher, and devoted friend of blacks with John Brown's public persona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-separator\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This book reconstructs the local world of the Brown family in North Elba (Essex County), New York. Most scholarship on Brown fails to recognize the importance of this area for the radical abolitionist family. But Weber demonstrates that although Brown was often absent from the farm in North Elba, it remained the center of the Brown family life through the 1850s and after Brown’s death in 1859.\" — Carole Emberton, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Walk About in Freedom: The Long Emancipation of Priscilla Joyner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eJohn Brown in New York\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebeautifully reveals the love John Brown had for his family and the love his family and his friends had for him.\" — Don Papson, cofounder and past President, North Star Underground Railroad Museum, Ausable Chasm, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Weber uses personal letters written by the Brown family that give a picture of what they were experiencing while he was on his mission to end slavery.
