1859, just prior to the Civil War, abolitionist and fanatic John Brown and his group of 21 followers seize the US armory at Harpers Ferry West Virginia. The local militia was called out to prevent the escape of the men. The following morning a company of United States Marines led by Robert E. Lee assaulted the building, killed 10 of the abolitionists and captured the rest. Brown, who was captured in the raid was later found guilty of treason and hanged. Our figure depicts one of the marines as he may have been dressed at the time of the raid. It was one of the few notable actions by the marines in this period. Sculpted and painted by Rod Griffith
