This man's son Owen narrates Russell Banks' novel Cloudsplitter.
This man's son Owen narrates Russell Banks' novel Cloudsplitter. A poem about this man notes that "sometimes there comes a crack in time itself" and begins with an invocation of an "American muse" with a "strong and diverse heart." Another poem about this man claims his "knapsack is strapped upon his back" and that "his pet lambs will meet him on the way." In a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, this man kisses a (*) baby shortly before his death. This subject of a poem whose refrain is "glory, glory, Hallelujah" lends his name to an epic by Stephen Vincent Benet. For 10 points, name this abolitionist whose "soul's marching on" and whose body "lies a-mouldering in the grave" in a folk song Julia Ward Howe adapted into "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
