The Clinton County Historical Association and the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association are co-hosting a lecture by historian and author Sandra Weber on February 26th 6:00 pm, at the CCHA Museum, 98 Ohio Road, Plattsburgh.  Sandra presents a compelling talk about her newest book, John Brown in New York: The Man, His Family, and the Adirondack Landscape and offers a fresh and intimate look at the famed abolitionist, focusing on the years of the Brown family’s connection with North Elba, Essex County (1848–1863). The intertwining story of sublime Adirondack scenery, farm life, and racial justice explores John Brown not only as a national figure but as a husband, father, neighbor, abolitionist, and equalitarian. Sandra’s insightful narrative bridges the myth and the man, revealing the tender and tragic heart of the Brown family story.
