Harpers Ferry Garrison

Famous quotes containing the words ferry and/or garrison:

“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)

“Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
