John Brown's career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.

- Henry David Thoreau, The Last Days of John Brown (1860)


The Last Days of John Brown-Three Addresses about his Death (1860) is the compilation of John Brown's Address to the Court at his Trial (1859) by John Brown and two speeches written by Henry David Thoreau: Remarks After the Hanging of John Brown (1859), and The Last Days of John Brown (1860), later published as essays. John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, subsequent trial, and hanging on the charge of treason, increased tensions that led to the Civil War. This inspirational writing is a must-read for students of history and social justice.
