About Lewis Washington

Lewis William Washington was a great-grandnephew of President George Washington. He is most remembered today for his involuntary participation in John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. He was taken as hostage and some of his slaves were briefly freed. As he outranked the other hostages, he was their unofficial spokesperson and testified in both Brown's subsequent trial and before the Senate committee investigating the raid.
