A Voice from Harper's Ferry, 1859: A Black Revolutionary Who Was There by Osborne P. Anderson

3.0

The book is quite convoluted and hard to follow, but the prefaces are EXTREMELY GOOD and concise in giving a rundown of conditions leading up to a following the civil war (spoiler alert: they appease murderous racists in the name of "unity") The account itself, though inscrutable in many places, is helpful in terms of tangibly thinking about the practicalities and limitations of abolitionists and mere abolitionism both then and now.
