Historians discuss John Brown at Liberty Hall

Pulitzer prize winner Tony Horwitz and Kansas University historian Jonathan Earle discussed John Brown on Thursday at Liberty Hall as part of the 150th anniversary of Quantrill's Raid. The event drew a large crowd, with Horwitz recounting Brown's belief in violent insurrection to end slavery and noting Brown’s daughter Annie as a notable figure in the story. Brown arrived in Kansas in 1855 as a penniless adventurer before his famous raid on Harpers Ferry.
