Americana from Seneca Books

Young Sarah Furber paid a heavy price for her mistake.

Franklin Benjamin Sanborn was a journalist and writer who supported many good causes. One of those was abolition, but the depth of his views led him to the extremes of the movement. Sanborn was one of the "secret six" who helped fund John Brown. Years later, he still supported Brown's mission as shown in this 1885 book: The Life and Letters of John Brown. Liberator of Kansas, and Martyr of Virginia. Item 67. $500.
