Description:Observing evidence of cruelties done to an escaped enslaved young woman late one night in a barn in rural New Hampshire, young Ephraim Nute dedicates himself to combatting that scourge. Resisting the wishes of his disapproving father he takes his commitment into the ministry, working with the Underground Railroad and answering a call to be a missionary to the increasingly violent Kansas Territory in 1854… With increasing encounters with the radical abolitionist John Brown and his family, Nute helps run guns and money from the East to Kansas. His complicated friendship with Brown puts him unexpectedly at the attack on Harper’s Ferry, Virginia…. Always contentious, Nute’s actions are often unorthodox, skirting the boundaries of legality and putting him at odds with the revered institutions of mainstream government, society, and religion. But his goal is always to reach for Liberty, that evasive muse who inspires him, burns in him, and curses him to a life of adventure and agony. (Based on the true life story, letters, and writings of the author's own great great grandfather.)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
