    Harpers Ferry - Famous for rifle manufacturing in the mid-1800's Harper's Ferry, in northeast Virginia, will also be remembered for the showdown between slave liberator John Brown and young Robert E. Lee. John Brown's attempt to lead a major southern slave insurrection ended in a futile attempt in which both his sons were mortally wounded. Brown and his small force of 21 men seized the U.S. armory where they expected several hundred slaves to join them. Poor communications prevented the slaves from organizing and John Brown's forces were not augmented. The U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee stormed the building and took Brown prisoner.
