| San Francisco Civil War Round Table Meeting 19 March 2009 |
Jean Libby gave a presentation of historic images of John Brown, the abolitionist, based on her
years of studying, writing and speaking on John Brown since 1978. Several of the excellent
likenesses she showed had been only recently discovered. Following Jean's presentation, the
discussion was greatly augmented by the contributions of Kirke Mechem, composer of an opera
about John Brown.
