Caption on back of postcard reads: "Court House at Charlestown, W. Va. (then Virginia), where John Brown was tried and convicted on Nov. 2, 1859. The scaffold on which Brown was executed was afterwards built into the porch of a house, bought by a Confederate soldier, still the owner. It was taken to Chicago and then brought to Washington. The Kansas State Historical Society will probably become its permanent owner." Published by The National Tribune. (From postcard collection legacy system.)
