      I had to squint because of the blurriness, but it says it was carried during the raid by one of John Brown’s men during the raid. Wonder if that includes John Brown himself as a possibility.

    Old John Brown left Kansas
    Before the blood had dried
    And as he rode his head did shine
    Like the sun in mid-July

    In a tiny farm house
    By Brunswick Piano
    He warmed his boots by the fireplace
    And read aloud from Samuel

    'David rose
    To beat the Philistines
    With five smooth stones
    And a sling’
