Thursday, Sept. 12, 7 pm
Presenter:Â Pete Nelson, NCCC faculty
Location: S-19, Mulholland Hall, NCCC-Saranac Lake
Â
Free and open to the public.
Â
One of the most famous Adirondack tales is adventurer Richard Henry Dana’s story of his 1849 encounter with frontier farmer John Brown, who Dana only realized years later to be the famous martyr of Harper’s Ferry. Dana’s account, published more than twenty years after the meeting, is filled with drama and surprise, but at the cost of accuracy â€" the actual events have significant differences. Dana and Brown were both abolitionists, with their most important contributions to justice and civil rights ahead of them. Come learn the real story of their encounter and the larger Adirondack context in which these two remarkable men crossed paths.
