Plate 1 (John Brown, W. E. B. Du Bois, 1909)2

The first main image in John Brown by W. E. B. Du Bois, cropped, rotated, and converted to greyscale. A map of the southern United States, from Texas in the Southwest to Delaware in the Northeast. Labeled are - "HARPER'S FERRY AND OTHER POINTS MARKED IN JOHN BROWN'S DIARY" in black dots, - "SWAMPS" marked in cross-hatches, and - "MOUNTAINS" marked by small rounded lines. Also marked are several counties in light grey, representing "'the black belt' of slavery where there were massed in 1859 at least three of the four million slaves," (preceding page in Du Bois), in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.
