Title: ONE OF THE BEST HISTORICAL NOVELS OUT THERE
Product review: Initially intimidated by the size of this book, I nevertheless became quickly engrossed in it's detailed characterizations of the famous and the unknown people involved in the abolition movement prior to the Civil War. Even more interesting is the father-son conflict that drives the novel to it's conclusion at Harper's Ferry. This book will have me checking out more stuff on John Brown. Banks' insight on the problems of race relations in this country are amazing. This is the kind of book that you can recommend to someone not just for the history. Although long, it's a compelling read and one not soon forgotten.
