Description

Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is most well known nowadays for the attempted slave rebel led by John Brown in 1859, the nucleus for the interpretation of the present national park. Here, Moyer and Shackel tell the in the back of-the-scenes story of how this event was once chosen and preserved for commemoration, providing lessons for federal, state, local and non-profit organizations who continually struggle over the quandary about which past to offer to the public. Professional and non-professional audiences alike will take pleasure in their necessary insights into how federal agencies interpret the past, and in turn shape public memory.
