As a young man, he entered the Christian ministry and soon felt called to action in the abolitionist movement. Brown was an eloquent voice crying out against slavery, publishing letters and reports in \u003ci\u003eThe Liberator\u003c\/i\u003e and other periodicals with abolitionist leanings, as well as in his own paper, \u003ci\u003eThe Tocsin of Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e (later \u003ci\u003eThe Albany Patriot\u003c\/i\u003e). The founder and corresponding secretary of the Eastern New York Anti-Slavery Society, he traveled widely, preaching the message of abolition, often accompanied by fugitive slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Brown''s death one day before his 34th birthday was a blow to New York''s abolitionist movement and devastating for his wife, Catharine, who published this biography in 1849 as a way of keeping his memory alive. The work draws heavily on Abel Brown''s correspondence, journals, and newspaper articles, allowing him to tell the story in his own words. This newly edited version preserves the 1849 original while offering clarification and context. The result is an unusual first-hand look at America''s anti-slavery movement. Appendices contain excerpts from additional correspondence and sermons of Abel Brown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037988520279,"sku":"9780786423781","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780786423781.jpg?v=1750938497","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/abel-brown-abolitionist-9780786423781","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
