The John Brown’s Raid tour, seven stops narrated by Harpers Ferry National Historical Park chief historian Dennis Frye, covers sites associated with the October 1859 event that many believe was the opening act in what became the Civil War.

“Keith leads visitors to one of the least explored yet most important parts of the Antietam battlefield. He lets the soldiers’ own words tell the story of the end of that bloody day,” says Don Pierce, CivilWarTraveler.com editor. “Dennis puts us in the shoes of Brown’s raiders at Harpers Ferry and takes us step by dramatic step through that pivotal event.”
