<br />
On the night of October 16th, 1859 a party of 17 armed men led by the militant abolitionist John Brown crossed the Potomac River over the B&O railroad bridge (the piers of which can be seen below at left) to seize the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry and its stockpile of 100,000 rifles and muskets. With these weapons, Brown intended to facilitate an armed slave uprising that would spread throughout the entire South. <br />
<br />
While his raid failed, the news of John Brown's attempt was an earthquake that reverberated throughout the entire Union and split the fault line between North and South. denounced as a psychotic terrorist by Southerners, Brown was embraced by many Northern abolitionists as a martyr. This outpouring of support for Brown exasperated Southern suspicions of a yankee-abolitionist plot to subjugate the South under Northern control through emancipation; by force if necessary. Southern states, long fearful of slave revolts, revived the militia system to combat all future "John Browns" laying the foundation for what would become the Confederate Army. <br />
<br />
On the morning of his execution, John Brown handed a note to one of his guards that would become prophetic: "I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood..." 16 months later, Confederate batteries in Charleston would open fire on Fort Sumter, and the bloody purge would begin.

  • Mt Hope is a former mining town that was a premier destination for Fayette County from its formation in the 1890's to its chartering in the 1920s and beyond. Unlike many other mining towns throughout the state where only a company general store was allowed, Mt. Hope grew independently, with its main street teeming with restaurants, theaters, hotels, shopping boutiques and more. However, as the decades wore on economic realities began taking their toll, with major employers such as the New River coal company shutting down (the local siltex mine just outside of town was one of the last mines in operation, and was also the site of a mining accident in 1966 that killed seven workers). leading to a steady decline for the once prosperous town. Now, of the dozens of buildings lining main street, only a handful have businesses occupying them. The town of 1,400 has no more than two eateries, a local Italian restaurant and an Italian chain further down the street. The local high school was demolished, with students now going to school in nearby Oak Hill or Beckley. Even places of basic employment are shutting down, with a local family dollar shutting its doors a short while ago.
