First published in 1909, W.E.B. Du Bois's biography of abolitionist John Brown is a literary and historical classic. With a rare combination of scholarship and passion, Du Bois defends Brown against all detractors who saw him as a fanatic, fiend, or traitor. Brown emerges as a rich personality, fully understandable as an unusual leader with a deeply religious outlook and a devotion to the cause of freedom for the slave. This new edition is enriched with an introduction by John David Smith and with supporting documents relating to Du Bois's correspondence with his publisher.

Benjamin Quarles brings together for the first time a broad range of statements by blacks on Brown from his day to the present -- from William Wells Brown and Frederick Douglass (who explains why he did not join the raid) to Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Lerone Bennett. The twenty-four selections include personal letters, eulogies, resolutions, reminiscences, sermons, poems, essays, newspaper editorials, and assessments by historians. The heroic image of Brown that they project was a factor in creating the legend of an immortal John Brown, a continuing source of inspiration for black leaders. The selections reveal much about America, black protest, and the relationship between blacks and whites over the past century. -- From publisher's description.

A moving cultural biography of abolitionist martyr John Brown, by one of the most important African-American intellectuals of the twentieth century. In the history of slavery and its legacy, John Brown looms large as a hero whose deeds partly precipitated the Civil War. As Frederick Douglass wrote: "When John Brown stretched forth his arm ... the clash of arms was at hand." DuBois's biography brings Brown stirringly to life and is a neglected classic.
