James Redpath, The Public Life of Captain John Brown, Book 1: he keepeth the sheep. (search)
It is hardly necessary for me to say that the internal evidences of its perfect fidelity are overwhelming: for we see throughout it the same grand traits in the barefooted, bareheaded boy, clad in buckskin breeches, suspended often with one leather strap and sometimes with two; who idolized the bobtail squirrel, and had a mourning season at its death; and who, at the age of twelve, swore eternal war against slavery; which, when in the jail and the Court room and on the gallows of Charlestown, Virginia, astonished and delighted the world. This is the letter: Red Rock, Iowa, 15th July, 1857. Mr Henry L. Stearns My Dear Young Friend, I have not forgotten my promise to write you; but my constant care, & anxiety have obliged me put it off a long time. I do not flatter myself that I can write any thing that will very much interest you: but have concluded to send you a short story of a certain boy of my acquaintance: & for convenience and shortness of name, I will call him Joh

r Friend: I have only time to say I got your kind letter of the 26th Nov. this evening. Am very grateful for all the good feeling expressed by yourself and wife. May God abundantly bless and save you all. I am very cheerful, in hopes of entering on a better state of existence, in a few hours, through infinite grace in ( Christ Jesus, my Lord. Remember the poor that cry, and them that are in bonds as bound with them. Your friend as ever, John Brown. Letter to Mr. Hunter. Charlestown, Va., Nov. 22, 1859. Andrew Hunter, Esq., Present. Dear Sir: I have just had my attention called to a seeming confliction between the statement I at first made to Governor Wise and that which I made at the time I received my sentence, regarding my intentions respecting the slaves we took about the Ferry.

he old mall presented to a merchant of Charlestown, who had shown him great kindness, a copy of the Bible, bearing on the fly-leaf this dedication: With the best wishes of the undersigned, and his sincere thanks for many acts of kindness received. There is no Commentary in the world so good in order to a right understanding of this Blessed Book as an honest, child-like, and teachable spirit. John Brown. Charlestown, 29th November, 1859.

But a small portion of those passages, which in the most positive terms condemn oppression and violence, are marked. Many hundred passages, writes a correspondent of a Southern paper, , which can by any possibility of interpretation be tortured into a support of his peculiar theory, are carefully marked, both by having the corner of the pages turned over, and by being surrounded by heavy pencil marks.
