SUMMARY:His Soul Marches On: The John Brown Farm State Historic Site
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author Sandra Weber presents a webinar about her 
 newest book\, John Brown Farm: From Abolitionist Vision to Memorial Site 
 (Purple Mountain Press\, 2026). Weber traces how the Brown family homestead 
 near Lake Placid\, NY --- the place where John’s body “lies amouldering 
 in the grave” --- became a mecca for people from around the world. 
 John’s soul went marching on\, as each generation came to this sacred 
 ground to wrestle with questions of universal freedom\, civil rights\, 
 public monuments\, and historical truth-telling. The landscape now holds 
 the restored Brown farmhouse\, graves of eleven Harpers Ferry raiders\, 
 statue of John Brown guiding a youth\, and other memorials which broaden 
 the meaning of this “site of conscience.”\n\n \n\nJohn Brown Farm is 
 Sandra Weber’s follow-up to her previous book John Brown in New York: The 
 Man\, His Family\, and the Adirondack Landscape. Weber has authored several 
 other books about the Adirondack region\, including Breaking Trail: 
 Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks (co-author\, Peggy Lynn)\, Mount 
 Marcy\, The Finest Square Mile\, and Adirondack Roots. Her articles have 
 been published in Civil War Times\, NYS Conservationist\, Adirondack Life\, 
 Adirondack Explorer\, Christian Science Monitor\, and Highlights for 
 Children. In addition to her writings\, Weber is also well-known for her 
 dramatic portrayals of Mary Brown in “Times of Trouble” and of Mother 
 Johnson\, Jeanne Robert Foster\, Kate Field\, and other women in 
 “Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks.” She lives in Elizabethtown\, 
 about 25 miles from the John Brown Farm.\n\n \n\nThis public program is 
 made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the 
 Institute of Museum and Library Services\, which enable the New York State 
 Library to champion lifelong learning.
