At once a magical evocation of one of the most iconic figures in American history - John Brown, the Che Guevara of his time - and an intimate, moving, complex portrait of the life of a nineteenth century rural American family, Cloudsplitter tells of one man's tragic passage from slavery abolitionist to guerilla fighter to terrorist to martyr.
