Their fourteen plates are: 1) Their manner of fishynge in Virginia, 2) A weroan or great Lorde of Virginia, 3) An aged Manne in his winter garment, 4) On of the Religeous men in the towne of Secota; The Conjuerer, 5) On of the Chieff Ladyes of Secota; A youne gentill woeman doughter of Secota, 6) A chieff Ladye of Pomeiooc, 7) Their manner of careynge ther children and a tyre of the cheiffe Ladyes of the towne of Dasamonquepenc, 8) The towne of Pomeiooc, 9) The browyllinge of their fishe over the flame, 10) Their sitting at meate, 11) Their Idol Kiwassa, 12) The tombe of their Werowans or Cheiff Lordes, 13) Their danses wich they use at their hyghe feastes, and 14) The manner of making their boates.

Stivers, Don At All Times Ready, U. S. Marines at Harper's Ferry. October 18, 1859 - Print
Waterford, Virginia Stivers, Don 1993 First Edition, Limited Print As New Stivers, Don
Number 369 of 500. Commissioned by the Marine Corps University Foundation. Print Size is 18" x 25" plus 2" inch margins. It is numbered and signed by Stivers in the lower margin. On 16 October 1859, John Brown led his band of abolitionists in an attack upon the U. S. Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, firmly believing that when he notified local slaves of his success, they would flock to him, draw arms from the arsenal, and begin a bloody and violent revolution. Before attacking the arsenal, Brown's gang kidnapped a number of civilians, including the grandnephew of George Washington, to hold as hostages in case their revolt was unsuccessful. Additionally, they attempted to stop a Baltimore and Ohio train en-route to Washington DC and killed a freed slave in the process. The following day, after Brown's force was discovered by arsenal workers, the local militia and town civilians took up arms to defend the armory. Realizing that his plan was ruined, Brown's force killed the mayor and three other civilians before forcing his hostages into a small railroad engine house and beginning to shoot at locals from the windows. Later that afternoon, after word of the revolt reached Washington, President Buchanan ordered Army Colonel Robert E. Lee to lead a small detachment of Marines to capture the Brown and his gang. Upon his arrival, Lee sent his aide, Lieutenant J. E. B. Stuart, to the engine house to negotiate Brown's surrender while the Marine detachment stood ready to attack. Brown refused, and Stuart signaled to the Marines, who rushed forward with two sledgehammers they hoped would break through the doors. When that proved to be impossible, the Marines found a large wooden ladder which they used as a battering ram to force their way inside. During the skirmish, all of the hostages were safely rescued and all of Brown's force was either killed or captured. This print depicts the Marines using the ladder to break down the engine house door as Lee (in civilian clothes) and Stuart (in his Army uniform) observe from the left. The print is in new, unframed condition. Includes the original certificate of authenticity, protective folder, and protective backing and cover.
