Mine Eyes Have Seen

Summary: another great book
Review: This story is about the daughter of the famous John Brown and her summer she spent being his lookout on the farm he rented in Maryland. John Brown is famous for his fighting against slavery, but sometimes he goes too far. Some of his sons have refused to join him in Maryland after their experiences in his Kansas expedition. But others go along, including Annie and her sister-in-law Martha. Marth cleans the house and cooks while Annie keeps watch on the porch all day, making sure no one passing by becomes aware of the men stashed upstairs in the house. Annie's love Dauphin Thompson comes along with his brother, along with another pair of brothers and some other men. The men become restless over the days, waiting for the raid on Harper's Ferry to happen. As the raid gets pushed back farther and farther, Dauphin pushes Annie away. The ending is sad, but the story awesome. You really should read this book.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This was a great book. It tells about John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 through the point of view of his 15 year old daughter, Annie. I highly reccomend this book. It is another good historical fiction novel by Ann Rinaldi.

Summary: It was a wonderful book, but I cried at the end.
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read. I really loved the way Annie had so much spunk. I would rather have had her not start the fight.This book was about Annie Brown, the daughter of John Brown the abolitionist. Annie is 15 and she goes to help her father get ready for a big slave uprising. Of the many men gatherd to fight one is her beloved fiance, Dauphin. Despite the stress of knowing they probably wouldn't come back, Annie also has to deal with knowing that her father does not love her.

Summary: this book is soo sad!
Review: When I first started to read this book I thought it was a little boring, but as I went on I found it very interesting. Not many people really know the story behind John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. I've read most of Ann Rinaldi's books and although this one is not my top favorite, its one of my favorites. It was really sad!! If you are looking for a good Ann Rinaldi book, this is a good pick. ...
