Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry ruptured the union between North and South. Yet few Americans know the true story of the militant idealists who invaded Virginia before the Civil War. Now, Midnight Rising paints Brown's insurrection in vivid color, illuminating a nation on the brink of ex plosive conflict. Brown, a descendant of Puritans and Revolutionary War soldiers, saw the destruction of slavery as a fulfillment of America's founding principles. But unlike most abolitionists, he was prepared to spill blood, even that of his own children. After fighting proslavery settlers along side his sons in Bleeding Kansas, Brown formed. a private army, backed by Northern conspirators known as the Secret Six. In 1859, at a mountain hideout in Maryland, Brown convened a guerrilla band that included his teenaged daughter, three of his sons, a former slave desperate to free his wife from bondage, and a dashing poet who acted as spy inside Virginia. Then, late one autumn night, Brown led eighteen men into Harpers Ferry, seizing its massive federal armory, freeing slaves, and vowing to liberate every bondsman in the South. A counterattack by U.S. Marines, commanded by Robert E. Lee, led to Brown's wounding and capture. But the bloody uprising shocked and divided an already fragile nation. While enraged Southerners branded the raid an act of treason and terror, Brown's bravery and eloquent defiance made him a hero to many Northerners. The crisis brought calls for secession and helped elect Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfill Brown's dream with the Emancipation Proclamation, a measure the president once labeled "a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale." In this riveting book, Tony Horwitz tells an essential American story about the troubled soul of a legendary firebrand, the desperate idealism of his followers, and the spirit of a sundered nation. The result is both a taut historical drama and a compelling portrait of a volatile time that still resonates in our own.
