Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes of Harper's Ferry I had two objects in View in editing this volume -first, to preserve, in a permanent form, the memorable words that have been spoken of Captain John Brown and, sec ond, to aid the families of the blacks and the men of color, who recently went to Heaven via Harper's Ferry, or who were murdered, with legal forms, at Charlestown, Virginia. The papers of which it consists have been revised by their authors, at my request; or they are printed, with their con sent, from properly corrected editions. My desire to preserve these papers, arises not so much from friendship for the memory of the Captain, or a per sonal sympathy for the surviving relatives of his brave colored followers, as from the hope that I may thereby fan the holy ame that their action kindled, until, becom ing a consuming fire, it shall burn up, with thoroughness and speed, every vestige of the crime of American Slavery. For I do most sincerely believe, notwithstanding the craven speeches of timeserving politicians, and the good God-good-dcvil exhortations of pusillanimous preachers, that the quickest way, and the most American way, and the only efficient way, in which to hasten on the Impend ing Crisis, - to bring to a speedy issue the approaching and Irresistible Con ict between Slavery and Freedom.

Download or read book The Preludes of Harper s Ferry Classic Reprint written by Wendell Phillips Garrison and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preludes of Harper's Ferry In the first winter month of 1838-39, a tall, spare man, under middle age, unbearded and of grave countenance, a rustic by his garb, entered a stationer's store at 108 Broadway, New York, and bought a little book for the pocket. A common-looking affair, as we now view it in a period of cheap paper, it contained about fifty ruled leaves, and was bound in boards, backed with leather, and sided with marbled paper. On the inside of the cover the buyer penciled his name, with date and place of purchase, which he presently repeated in ink on the opposite fly-leaf, as follows: " Memoranum Book of John Brown Franklin Portage Co Ohio Bought Decem 3d 1838 of G and C Carvill & Co Price $0.25." The price, two shillings, would be thought twice too dear to-day, and was equivalent in purchasing power to at least fifty cents of our present money. In the rural districts it meant an outlay of two " square meals," as a cash account on page 29, for April 20, 1840, shows: "To do for 2 dinners 0.25." Tested by this gauge, the poor have not grown poorer in the last half century of progress. The date, December 3, is noticeable. Our " Man of the Second of December" was entering on the first of the twenty-one years yet allotted him on this earth. Other men turn over a new leaf with the calendar year; by chance he seized the atom of time which was to mark New Style for the remnant of his days. Nearly enough, too, the memorandum-book stands for a parting of the ways in John Brown's worldly affairs. A divinity student turned land-surveyor and then tanner, he cured his hides at Hudson, Ohio, till 1825, afterwards at Richmond, near Meadville, Penn., till 1835, then at Franklin, Ohio, where he fell a victim to the well-known disease of buying farm lands to cut up prematurely into village lots. He was caught by the panic of 1837 and beggared. He was now free to choose an occupation more consonant with his tastes.

Download or read book Harpers Ferry Armory and the New Technology written by Merritt Roe Smith and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the day-to-day operations of the U.S. armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, from 1798 to 1861, this book shows what the "new technology" of mechanized production meant in terms of organization, management, and worker morale. A local study of much more than local significance, it highlights the major problems of technical innovation and social adaptation in antebellum America. Merritt Roe Smith describes how positions of authority at the armory were tied to a larger network of political and economic influence in the community; how these relationships, in turn, affected managerial behavior; and how local social conditions reinforced the reactions of decision makers. He also demonstrates how craft traditions and variant attitudes toward work vis-à-vis New England created an atmosphere in which the machine was held suspect and inventive activity was hampered.Of central importance is the author's analysis of the drastic differences between Harpers Ferry and its counterpart, the national armory at Springfield, Massachusetts, which played a pivotal role in the emergence of the new technology. The flow of technical information between the two armories, he shows, moved in one direction only— north to south. "In the end," Smith concludes, "the stamina of local culture is paramount in explaining why the Harpers Ferry armory never really flourished as a center of technological innovation."Pointing up the complexities of industrial change, this account of the Harpers Ferry experience challenges the commonly held view that Americans have always been eagerly receptive to new technological advances.
