| [00:08.88]Brown finally agreed to let the train pass over the bridge [00:14.24]and continue on to Baltimore.The train left at sunrise. [00:21.05]By this time, word of Brown's attack had spread to Charles Town [00:27.82]more than twelve kilometers away. [00:31.37]Officials called out the militia, ordering the men of Charles Town [00:37.62]to get ready to go to the aid of Harper's Ferry. [00:42.63]Soon after sunrise, men began arriving at Harper's Ferry [00:49.55]from other towns in the area. [00:53.00]They took positions above the armory and started shooting at it. [00:59.53]The militia from Charles Town arrived [01:03.97]at the Maryland end of the Potomac Bridge. [01:08.49]They charged across,forcing Brown's men on the bridge to flee to the armory [01:17.84]Only one of Brown's man was hit. [01:22.18]He was killed instantly. [01:26.23]Brown saw that he was surrounded. [01:30.85]His only hope was to try to negotiate a cease-fire [01:36.10]and offer to release his thirty hostages, [01:41.07]if the militia would let him and his men go free. [01:46.32]Brown sent out one of his men and one of the prisoners with a white flag. [01:54.05]The excited crowd refused to recognize the White flag. [01:59.98]They seized Brown's man and carried him away. [02:05.52]Brown moved his men and the most important of his hostages [02:12.05]into a small brick building at the armory. [02:16.78]Then he sent out two more of his men with a prisoner [02:22.32]to try to negotiate a cease-fire. [02:26.36]One of them was his son, Watson. [02:30.88]This time,the crowd opened fire. [02:36.63]Watson and the other raider were wounded. [02:40.18]Their prisoner escaped to safety. [02:44.13]Watson was able to crawl back to the armory. [02:49.27]One of the youngest of Brown's men,William Leeann, tried to escape. [02:57.21]He ran from the armory and jumped into the Potomac [03:02.47]planning to swim across the river. [03:06.10]He did not get far. [03:10.43]A group of militia saw him and began shooting. [03:15.40]Leeann was forced to hide behind a rock in the middle of the river. [03:21.82]Two men went out to the rock with guns and shot him. [03:27.67]His body lay in the river for two days. [03:32.92]Later,more people were killed. [03:36.97]One was the mayor of Harper's Ferry,Fontana Buckram. [03:44.03]After the mayor's death, a mob went to the hotel [03:49.67]where one of Brown's men had been held [03:53.22]since he was seized earlier in the day. [03:57.27]They pulled him from the hotel and took him to the bridge over the river [04:03.30]Several members of the mob put guns to his head and fired. [04:09.84]They pushed his body off the bridge and into the water. [04:15.09]Across town,three of Brown's men were in trouble at the gun factory. [04:22.24]The factory was built on an island in the Shenandoah River. [04:28.28]the island was now surrounded Militia [04:33.01]Forty of the soldiers attacked the factory from three sides. [04:38.94]They pushed the three raiders back to a small building next to the river. [04:45.36]The three men fought as long as possible. [04:50.22]Then they jumped through a window into the river. [04:55.24]They tried to swim to safety. [04:58.87]Men with guns were waiting for them. [05:03.20]Bullets fell around the three like rain. [05:07.72]One man was hit. [05:10.88]He died instantly. [05:14.12]Another was wounded. [05:17.05]He was pulled to land and left to die. [05:22.19]The third man escaped death. [05:25.83]He was captured and held for trial. [05:30.79]All through the afternoon and evening, [05:35.52]Brown's men at the armory continued to exchange shot with the militia. [05:42.05]Several more on both sides were killed or wounded. [05:47.59]One of those was another of Brown's sons,Oliver [05:53.72]He was shot and seriously wounded. [05:58.16]Night fell.Then,a militia officer,Captain Sinn, [06:04.80]walked up to the small building held by Brown. [06:09.82]He shouted to the men inside that he wished to talk. [06:15.17]Brown opened the door and let him in. [06:19.90]For almost an hour, the two men talked. [06:25.33]They talked about slavery and the right to rebel against the government [06:32.10]Brown was furious that the crowd outside had refused to honor his white flag [06:39.83]of truce earlier in the day. [06:43.17]He told Sinn that his men could have killed unarmed men and women [06:49.70]but did not do so. [06:52.53]"That is not quite correct,"Captain Sinn said. [06:57.49]"Mayor Buckram had no gun when he was shot." [07:02.92]"Then I can only say I am most sad to hear it,"said Brown. [07:09.17]"Men who take up guns against the government," said Sinn, [07:14.70]must expect to be shot down like dogs." [07:19.22]In Washington, President Buchanan and Secretary of War [07:25.86]Lohn Floyd did not learn of the rebellion at Harper's Ferry [07:32.00]until after ten o'clock that morning. [07:35.63]The president wanted immediate action. |
