Subject John Brown (abolitionist)

Marching Song is a 1932 play about John Brown, co-written by the young Orson Welles and his mentor and former headmaster Roger "Skipper" Hill. It is most notable for its device of piecing together a man's life through scattered, contradictory recollections; a device Welles would famously return to in Citizen Kane.[1]
