  • this is very inspireing to go and raid a town

  • Great overview, Mr. Bordewich. However, saying that Captain Brown was heroized "immediately" after the raid is incorrect. I see you have David Reynolds' book on your shelf. You should know that Reynolds argues quite convincingly that Brown wasn't really heroized until Transcendentalists such as Thoreau and Emerson started defending him.
