LD's Sucky "Secret Six" Tour
•
Louis DeCaro Jr.
In this episode, Lou explores the appellation, "Secret Six," which is often associated with the so-called inner circle of John Brown's supporters. Taking you on this imaginary tour, Lou travels through time to find references to the "Secret Six," finding a lot of interesting and sometimes musing flotsam and jetsam and a couple of high-profile associations with "Secret Six." But what he doesn't find is a term that has any real association with John Brown, his followers, or their stories. Join Lou as he gets to the bottom of "Secret Six"--which, it turns out, isn't very deep at all.
