The Secret Six: John Brown and the Abolitionist Movement

Front Cover
NYT Times Books, 1979 - Biography & Autobiography - 375 pages
"Painting a panorama of the colorful quarter century before the Civil War, Otto Scott's prose captures the contemporary passions of a period of intense abolitionist feeling, the heat of the adamant pro-slavery faction, and the lively personalities who made the issues burst into flames. This moving view of the end of the Jefferson Republic provides an historical viewpoint on political extremism that has compelling relevance in our own time." --Page [3] of cover.
