In 2013, it was awarded the National Book Award for Fiction and the Paris Review Best of the Best. My Take A rescue that leads to an inside look at the thinking of John Brown and his ever-changing troop with their sacrifice, belief, and a sometimes misguided passion. You’ll certainly appreciate how different Brown’s campaign may have been if he’d had a blog! It’s a softer, gentler look at John Brown of Harpers Ferry fame. Pre-war. Pre-Civil War that is. From the perspective of a child who don’t got no dog in this hunt. Yes, Onion is a slave, and s/he wants to […]
