I lived in Lawrence and was steeped in the John Brown and Quantrill's Raiders lore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantrill%27s_Raiders, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Massacre, etc. )

Oddly enough, I also lived outside of Harper's Ferry, WV where John Brown met his demise. And in the Adirondacks where his body was finally laid to rest. Just stopped by his grave site outside of Lake Placid.
