Book Signing with Sandra Weber

The Bookstore Plus is pleased to host author Sandra Weber for a book signing event on Saturday, June 27th, from 3-5 PM to autograph copies of her newest book “JOHN BROWN FARM: FROM ABOLITIONIST MISSION TO MEMORIAL SITE”.
About The Book| John Brown Farm: From Abolitionist Vision to Memorial Site is the first book to focus on the significance of the John Brown Farm State Historic Site, where John’s body “lies a’mouldering in the grave.” People from around the world make pilgrimages to the landmark farm near Lake Placid in North Elba, New York, where the Brown family lived from 1855 to 1863. Visitors soon discover that this is also where “His Soul Goes Marching On.” Here is the fascinating chronicle of how each generation has remembered, monumented, and reinterpreted the abolitionist who led the fateful raid at Harpers Ferry. Author Sandra Weber explores the history and meaning of the three graves, the farmhouse, the memorial tablets, the John Brown Statue, and the beautiful scenery at the site. She also delves into the issues of racial prejudice, the Lost Cause myth, forest preservation, historical preservation, land stewardship, and truth-telling.

She is also the author of John Brown in New York. For more information, visit johnbrownny.com/
