Osawatomie Brown


 

Osawatomie Brown was a play written about John Brown's struggle with pro-slavery forces in Kansas. His struggle brought him national attention, and he became a hero to many Northern abolitionists. With only two dozen men he successfully defended the free-soil town of Osawatomie, Kansas (on August 30) against an attack of about 400 men. The success earned him the nickname "Osawatomie Brown."
