The public life of Capt. John Brown by James Redpath( Book )

1 edition published in 1860 in English and held by 411 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Redpath's Public Life of John Brown was his "most popular and influential work" (Knight, Writers of the American Renaissance, 310). While "there is no evidence that Brown asked Redpath to participate in his raid on the Harpers Ferry arsenal, there is considerable evidence that Redpath knew many details of Brown's plan. Besides his personal conversations with Brown, Redpath had discussed Brown's intentions with [journalist] Richard Hinton as early as fall 1858…[and] knew enough to recruit his friend Merriam for Brown's raiding party… Redpath's commitment to full black rights never wavered" (McKivigan, 47, xii). In his many-storied career, he played "a role in almost every meaningful reform movement of his day. Along the way he… worked for the governments of Haiti and the United States, went undercover among the slaves of the Old South, agitated for Irish rights [and] fought in Bleeding Kansas" (Edward E. Baptist)." -- baumannrarebooks.com

A Female wanderer, or, The remarkable disclosures of Cordelia and Edwin by Cordelia Stark( Book )

1 edition published in 1857 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

"This is the fictional story of Cordelia Krats, who, because women of the 19th century could not travel unaccompanied, spent more than two years dressed like a man in order to explore the world. This adventurous tale of a woman traveling incognito in a man's world takes the reader to boarding houses, merchant ships, and a brothel, describing near murder, working on the ship, and homesickness for her family. Before Cordelia's eventual return to living as a woman and reuniting with her love, Edwin, she is satisfied that 'in [her] devious wanderings, [she became] thoroughly acquainted with mankind and their various passions,' (page 46)"--University of Pennsylvania Libraries website, Frontiers of Decorum exhibition, viewed January 2, 2021
