“John Brown’s 21 raiders at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in October 1859, murdered three white civilians, one slave and two US marines — six all told”
Hayward Shepherd appears to be missing from that account- Shepherd was a free black man working as a baggage handler on the B&O railroad, who was shot by Brown’s men when he confronted them.
Brown also kidnapped Lewis Washington and took him hostage; the elderly Lewis was the great grandnephew of George. Lewis aided the Marines in capturing Brown.
My mistake, counted Shepherd as a slave instead of freedman.
There were two slaves killed in the raid, but not by Brown's people.
Appear to be cases of "wrong place, wrong time".
