Another interesting factoid about Hugo...he asked for clemency for John Brown. this conjures up another literary work--Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin... i believe John Brown read it several times, and had his children read it... it moved him... our family listened to the unabridged version on audio when we were studying the Civil War...
