Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 2: the Worcester period (search)
I had various Kansas and other experiences, saw old Captain Brown, but not Governor Robinson. Captain B. expects quiet thment. The last Worcester letters were written while John Brown's trial was pending and speak of Higginson's fruitless attempt to escort Mrs. Brown to her imprisoned husband. To a friend: Of course we are all deep in Browns, and you can i same on the study floor. Of course I think enough about Brown, though I don't feel sure that his acquittal or rescue woul . . Four days I spent in going to the Adirondacks for Mrs. Brown and then another in Boston about her affairs. It was were not virtue enough here to balance it. ...

The lake is a little ruffled by the evening wind. Three figures stand catching fish rapidly (we have about a hundred trout and chubs this afternoon); a few are sitting on a stone to watch them. Three are writing; Mr. Battles [a Universalist minister from Bangor] is dressing fish, and Martha and Mr. Brown are helping our guides in picking hemlock boughs and piling our soft broad couches in tents. We have all had such a happy afternoon; the freedom of the woods descends deeper and deeper into us; all obstacles have vanished, and everything is easier than we expected. All of us are better and stronger than when we started, although we have had for twenty-four hours only very hard crackers, either dry or fried pork, salt pork, and milkless tea, all which I have learned to like.

able value to me. Three years before Higginson had written of Montgomery: Montgomery in Kansas is a noble person, born and reared in Kentucky, and whatever he does I shall expect to find right when it is understood, though it may take long to understand it. I was not unprepared for his present course. He wrote to me long ago that the Missourians were driving him and his friends so hard that they expected to retaliate in self-defence, though the number is greatly overestimated, as in John Brown's case. James Montgomery was one of the early Kansas settlers. His house was burned by the Missourians, and he organized a band of fighters which he had led on retaliatory raids into Missouri. He was called the Kansas hero and subsequently commanded the first North Carolina Colored Volunteers.
