Cloudsplitter

John Brown is America's most famous political terrorist, who in 1859 raided the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, intending to galvanise the Southern slaves into rebellion. This is John's story, told by his son. It recreates pre-Civil War America, and tells of one man's passage from abolitionist to guerrilla fighter and, finally, martyr.
