      abstract = {On October 16, 1859, John Brown led a group of about 20  men in seizing the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry,  Virginia (now West Virginia) in an attempt to arm slaves  and encourage a violent uprising. Brown was hanged within  the year, but his actions strained relations between the  North and South in the years leading to the American Civil  War. This collection contains the records of the Committee  on Military Affairs of the 36th Congress, which  investigated the circumstances surrounding Brown's raid at  Harper's Ferry. The records include documents like  committee papers and reports, investigative files, and  correspondence.},
