About the Book

John Brown’s failed raid on the federal armory in Harper’s Ferry Virginia served as a vital precursor to the Civil War, but its importance to the struggle for justice is free standing and exceptional in the history of the United States. In Freedom's Dawn, Louis DeCaro, Jr., has written the first book devoted exclusively to Brown during the six weeks between his arrest and execution. DeCaro traces his evolution from prisoner to convicted felon, to a prophetic figure, then martyr, and finally the rise of his legacy. In doing so he touches upon major biographical themes in Brown’s story, but also upon antebellum political issues, violence and terrorism, and the themes of political imprisonment and martyrdom.

Review :
If you are in search of a meticulous recounting of John Brown's last six weeks, Freedom's Dawn will suit you. Louis DeCaro's treatment of the prophetic John Brown's last six weeks is a gem. Don't miss it! No scholar has contributed more to John Brown studies than Louis DeCaro, and Freedom’s Dawn is a masterful new contribution to his indispensable body of work. Freedom's Dawn is the most thoughtful and judicious rendering yet of John Brown's final weeks. In a moving narrative, Louis De Caro, Jr. presents Brown not as a crazed terrorist but as a determined, heroic prophet of human rights.
