About the author. . .
- Louis A. DeCaro, Jr.
- Louis A. DeCaro, Jr. Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of History and Theology at Alliance Theological Seminary's New York City campus, and is also the pastor of an urban church. Of course, he often dreams of being a full-time researcher and student of the life and letters of John Brown the abolitionist. His latest work is entitled, "John Brown: The Man Who Lived," a collection of essays prepared in honor of the sesquicentennial (Lulu, 2009) of the Harper's Ferry Raid and the hanging of John Brown. "John Brown: The Man Who Lived" features material formerly published on this blog, along with new material of interest to students, scholars, and biography buffs. Lou's previous works on the abolitionist are "John Brown--the Cost of Freedom" (International Publishers, 2007)--which features new insights based on cutting edge research and transcriptions of twenty John Brown letters, and "'Fire from the Midst of You': A Religious Life of John Brown" (New York University Press, 2002). He is also a contributor to "The Afterlife of John Brown," edited by Eldrid Herrington and Andrew Taylor (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005).
