Parsons, Luke F., 1833-1926

Autograph letter signed

Title: to J. E. Boos

Reminiscences about John Brown by a former follower. Gives a physical description of Brown, and discusses Brown's conviction to always fight for what was right. "He said the Lord had created him to be the deliverer of the slaves from bondage, the same as he did Moses." Of Brown's composure says he was "never excited, always cool, calm, and thoughtful, but had the deliberate courage of a lyon." Also relates a story from their days together in Kansas. Written from "Home."
