Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
"I feel no consciousness of guilt in the matter, nor even mortification on account of my imprisonment and irons; and I feel perfectly sure that very soon no member of my family will feel any possible disposition to 'blush on my account.' Already dear friends at at distance, with kindest sympathy, are cheering me with the assurance that posterity, at least, will do me justice."
--John Brown, October 31, 1859, letter to family
