All Their John Browns (With Some Lincoln Birthday Fun)

John Brown Today

How many John Browns can you think of? In this episode, Lou shares some reflections on biography and how John Brown has been portrayed in biographical and cultural terms since his death in 1859 and up through today. While this episode is about Old Brown, there is some reflection on Old Abe, but rest assured, it's all in good fun. Or is it? I doubt the Lincoln Squirrel is laughing.
