Oddly enough, the role of the United States Marines during the capture of John Brown at Harpers Ferry (October 1859) has been completely overlooked and essentially forgotten – even by the Marines themselves. Why were they sent? Who were they? How were they organized? How did they prepare for the journey to Harpers Ferry? What actually took place after they arrived there? Was Robert E. Lee really in direct command of them? What kind of a wooden ladder could do what three heavy sledgehammers could not? How and why did the sword that struck down John Brown bend? As one attempts to look into the Marines’ involvement in this bygone confrontation, more and more questions seem to present themselves and demand explanation. Now, almost one hundred and fifty years after the event, this novel offers an in-depth look at the actions of those heroic, but forgotten Marines.
