Summary

In part three of Norm’s coverage of John Brown, shit *officially* hits the fan. After years of planning, John Brown leads his men in a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Things quickly go awry. They shoot an innocent man. They get outnumbered. But John Brown refuses to back down.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from:
“Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War” by Tony Horwitz
“To Purge This Land With Blood: A Biography of John Brown” by Stephen Oates
“Five for Freedom: The African American Soldiers in John Brown’s Army” by Eugene L. Meyer
