Orson Wells reading John Brown's speech at his sentencing.

When I first heard these words I was amazed at how powerful they were, and yet in my entire education I had never even heard reference to them. To think that a man crafted these words and was able to deliver them after learning that he would soon hang makes them even more powerful. John Brown is often depicted as a crazy man in books and paintings. These words contradict his lunacy. Henry David Thoreau paid him high honors by calling him "a transcendentalist above all, a man of ideas and princples." On May 5th the bike tour will pass by the small farmhouse where he and his followers trained and planned their attack on Harpers Ferry. This event has just recently been dubbed the official start to the Civil War. battlefieldbiking.com
