On the way home, I turned onto a street demonstration where people were yelling and burning tires. I told my son it was a street repair crew, but I don’t think he believed me. With the windows down we were suffocating on the rubber smoke. Even with the windows up, John and I were coughing and gagging from the smell of burning rubber. I was afraid to open the windows again because the demonstrators had surrounded the car and were pounding on the hood, the sides, and trunk.

Brown’s lifespan covered most of the period between the Revolution and the Civil War, a time of the still-early beginnings of the United States.
