he came back later and actually worked with this, my buddy john doy, dr. john doy. doctor, in quotes. john doy. to go steel slaves in missouri. in my mind, he was more of a debtriment than a help. he had an interesting relationship with amos lawrence. he had sold wool to amos lawrence years before, i don't remember exactly when, but years before the this whole story of kansas. and when he went to kansas, he went to see his buddy, amos lawrence, who had essentially wrote a letter of introduction to him then came back again not long before he went to harper's ferry. and met with lawrence again and asked lawrence to help him with this project and lawrence of course refused. and he said, you know, i've given a lot of money to kansas to this issue already. which he had. but when john brown asked him the if he would take care of his family, if anything happened to him, lawrence agreed to do that. and he did. he actually took care of his family and he wrote a letter to the governor of virginia. hoping that they would give him a fair trial. which they did. so that's, there's

dr. john doy. he listed his profession as a hydropathic doctor. i think if you transit that, it probably means quack. [ laughter ] >> but, anyway, one of the things he did, he was a close associate of john brown. he actually would go into missouri to help not only to try to help slaves escape, he would steal them from their owners in missouri. he wrote an autobiography, you can get it online. it's kind of cool. actually, there's a youtube, the story i'll get to in a minute. of him that you can pull up very easily. if i can do it, you can do it. any way, he in 1859, this is really kind of interesting. the people of lawrence asked him if he would help 12 free blacks leave lawrence and go to canada. he had helped i don't know how many dozen fugitive slaves escaped, but now, being asked to take free african-americans out of lawrence. he agrees to do it. he gets a few miles out of town and is arrested by missourians. this is kind of like, i'm sure you heard about al capone, but did all these horrible things but he was arrested for income tax evasion. jo
