The Young Moose Hunters The Young Moose Hunters is an 1882 story by C. A. Stephens. The story recounts the author's recollections of his adventures with fellow Paris Hill Academy students Henry Scott Whitman and Fred Bartlett during the American Civil War. The students travel over the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad and then walk to Lake Umbagog where Bartlett's friend, Charles Henry Farr, has a boat they row to Parmachenee Lake.

John Brown (abolitionist) John Brown (May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was an American abolitionist who believed and advocated that armed insurrection was the only way to overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. Brown first gained attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856. Dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement, he said, "These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!" During the Kansas campaign, Brown commanded forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie. He and his supporters killed five supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre of May 1856 in response to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces.
