Excerpt from John Brown: An Address at the Fourteenth Anniversary of Storer College, Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, May 30, 1881 Not to fan the ame of sectional animosity now happily in the process of rapid and I hope permanent extinction 5 not to revive and keep alive a sense of shame and remorse for a great national crime, which has brought its own punishment, in loss of treasure, tears and blood 3 not 'to recount the long list of wrongs, in icted on my race during more than two hundred years of merciless bondage 5 nor yet to draw, from the labyrinths of far-off centuries, incidents and achievements wherewith to rouse your passions, and enkindle your enthusiasm, but to pay a just debt long due, to vindicate in some degree a great historical character, of our own time and country, one with whom I was myself well acquainted, and whose friendship and confidence it was my good fortune to share, and to give you such recollections, impressions and facts, as I can, of a grand, brave and good old man, and especially to promote a better understanding of the raid upon Harper's Ferry of which he was the chief, is the object of this address. In all the thirty years' con ict with slavery, if we except the late tremendous war, there is no subject which in its interest and im portance will be remembered longer, or will form a more thrilling chapter in American history than this strange, wild, bloody and mournful drama. The story of it is still fresh in the minds of many who now hear me, but for the sake of those who may have forgotten its details, and in order to have our subject in its eu tire range more fully and clearly before us at the outset, I will brie y state the facts in that extraordinary transaction.
