A Fatal Miscalculation
by lmkluque
Harper's Ferry became famous because John Brown, an abolitionist, and his rag-tag group of men decided to rob the US Army Asenal located in this small town.
He failed to escape and was later tried in Alexandria and there hanged. The details of this story are found at the Harper's Ferry outdoor museum and well worth a day trip to this fantastically beautiful area of West Virginia.
More information can be found on my West Virginia page.
