    “He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, And frightened “Old Virginny” till she trembled thru and thru; They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew, But his soul is marching on.”

    William W. Patton

    "John Brown wears a hangman’s noose for a necktie up in Heaven. I asked him about it and he said, ‘Where’s yours? Where’s yours?’

    His eyes were glowing like coins."

    -Kurt Vonnegut
