stonewall jackson later appears on the scene, jefferson davis is very involved, even john wilkes boothis present in the end. um, so i'm going to end by just reading a short passage about this point in the raid, and just as background one of the characters i'm going to read about who's caught in this tense situation with brown holed up in the engine house is a man named aaron stevens who's this larger-than-life figure. he's this very tall, dark, handsome, broad-shouldered man, and the only member of brown's band who has military training. he was a mexican war veteran who was then court-martialed for what's called in the records a drunken riot and mutiny. he's sentenced to hard labor here in kansas at leaven worth and quickly escapes and becomes a fierce abolitionist fighter and joins brown's band. but this rather ferocious warrior has a very gentle side, a tender soul, and in the months leading up to the raid, he falls desperately in love with a music teacher named jenny dunbar who i'll just mentioned is described as having great eyes full of pathos with exquisite contours and a glory o

when he did not get the nomination and wilke became the new speaker, hoover behaved in the next few weeks as if there was a great turning point in his life, and he said as much to friends. he wrote poignant notes to friend thanking them, and in a few weeks of the time he started scribbling out his memoirs. almost as if he knew the chapter in this life was over and he could never again though be president, but the next thing he could be to do is write for history. >> almost like he could no longer make history, but he could try to shape how history was interpreted. >> yes. and as a parallel, he might want to talk about eventually today, and that is that winston churchill wrote his memoirs which are the magnum opus of win extol churchill which could be compared to what hoover and his staff called the magnum opus freedom betrayed, and there's a fascinating book called "in command of history" arguing that churchill was seeking to shape history, and churchill said something to the effect that, i will -- history will be kind to me because ill know -- i know i will be one of the historians, or w

we're talking about places like state college and moving up toward scranton and wilkes barre, pennsylvania. this is a warm front. so you can see the shower activity with it, too. we're not goingo see any rain from this but that warm front is going to allow temperatures to warm up. how much? take a look at the high temperatures to the west. 71 degrees today in omaha, nebraska. 66 in st. louis. 65 here in memphis. all of that warmer air is going to push right on into our region during the day tomorrow. i expect temperatures to jump by about 15 degrees. so cool today. here's that warm front. passing us by overnight tonight. by tomorrow afternoon we get into the southwesterly winds. those winds gusting upwards of 15, 20, even 30 miles an hour tomorrow. all out of the southwest and all bringing in that very warm air with some sunshine. then on wednesday we'll see our frontal boundary begin to make its way down here. that will continue to keep the winds up there, continue to keep them out of the southwest. we'll be even warmer during the day on wednesday. before a front tries to make its way thr

and one of his most famous speeches shortly before he's assassinated by john wilkes booth who was at brown's hanging -- so it's all these connections -- you know, lincoln gives this second inaugural address in which he talks about every drop of blood drawn by the lash will have to be repaid, you know, by blood drawn by the sword. and this is an eerie echo of brown who says before he goes to the gallows, of course, the sins of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. so these two figures who start off in really different positions kind of come together in the end.

when he did not get the nomination, when it fell through, when wilke became the new speaker, the charismatic newcomer, wendell willkie, hoover behaved in those next few weeks as if there was a great turning point in his life, and he wrote poignant notes to his friends thanking them for their friendship. and within a few weeks of that time he started systematically scribbling out his memoirs. it's almost as though he knew the chapter was over, he could never again hope to be president, but the next thing he could do would be to write for history. >> host: it's almost as if he could no longer make history, but he could try to shape how history was interpreted. >> guest: yes. and there's a parallel here we might want to talk about eventually today, and that is that winston churchill wrote his memoirs of world war ii which are in a way the magnum opus of winston churchill which can be compared and contrast today what hoover and his staff formerly called the magnum opus freedom betrayed. and there's a fascinating book by david reynolds, as i recall, called "in command of history," and arguing tha
