3. The artist who did this political cartoon is fascinating--a Virginia Unionist named David Hunter Strother, whose pen name was Porte Crayon. Strother was quite hostile toward Brown, although in the post-war years he became something of an admirer of the Old Man of Harper's Ferry, even to the point of trying to go on the lecture circuit (with little success). Strother's Harper's Ferry work fairly well conveyed the propaganda of southern leaders, particularly the idea that enslaved people were loyal to their masters and either feared or refused to join John Brown. Of course, Brown's black raider, Osborne Anderson tells quite a different story in his 1860 memoir, A Voice from Harpers Ferry. Anderson resented the presentation of local blacks as disinterested and lacking in militancy, and he describes quite a different reception toward Brown's men on the ground at the time of the raid. Strother even served in the Union army during the Civil War.
