Reviews

"An extraordinary work that traces the legend of this fascinating and complex man from Brown's own era to the present day.... A tour de force.--Charles Dew, author of Bond of Iron and Apostles of Disunion

A selection of the History Book Club

Insightful.... First-rate.... In Peterson's chapters, the narrative flows easily between a discussion of the events of Brown's life and the dramatization of the events in prose, poetry, and the visual arts.-- "H-Net Reviews"
