CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Anyone who wants to know more about John Brown can now find the controversial abolitionist’s letters, photos and other documents at their fingertips.
Gov. Joe Manchin and officials from the state Division of Culture and History on Tuesday announced the launch of an online exhibit called “His Soul Goes Marching On: The Life and Legacy of John Brown.”
The site, which includes more than 300 images and dozens of documents, is meant to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Brown’s Oct. 16 raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. It can be viewed at www.wvculture.org/history/jbexhibit/jbintroduction.html.
