    I wondered what this was about and read about John Brown and the slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry in 1859.

    I had just watched a bit of history on this raid a few months ago on a Youtube Channel called ‘Canadiana’ … a group that offers historical features on Canadian history.

    There was one survivor of this raid and he fled to Canada in southern Ontario where he lived and worked for most of his life.
