Monument to John Brown Planned by Prominent Colored Citizens
A committee led by Frederick Douglass proposes a monument to John Brown on the site of the old engine-house at Harper's Ferry. The circular calls for a 10 000 to 12 000 dollar pink granite shaft, with Br ace and Lynch among members, and Douglass as likely author. The note includes praise of Brown's sacrifice and a health/sales pitch for Dr King s New Discovery and Rambler Bicycles offered at The News Office.
