Website Spotlight: John Brown (AE)



Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/brown/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

In the "Reference" section, check out the interview transcripts with four historians.

II. Special Features

History of the famous song: "John Brown's Body

John Brown's Failures

III. Timeline of events in John Brown's life

IV. Map coded to 19 events in John Brown's life

V. People & Events

"The Secret Six" who supported Brown's abolitionist cause

"The Harpers Ferry Raid"

VI. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
