Langston Hughes wrote that "perhaps / you will remember" this man in a poem claiming he "died / for your sake" titled in part for "October 16". This man's son Owen is contacted by Miss Mayo, an assistant to this man's real-life biographer Oswald Garrison Villard, in Russell Banks's historical novel Cloudsplitter. This man is called "weird" in Herman Melville's short poem "The Portent", which called this man "the meteor of the war". This man's soul is "marching on" while his (*) corpse "lies a-mouldering in the grave" in a song whose tune was reused for "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". That song, which inspired the title of an epic poem about the Civil War by Stephen Vincent Benet, is titled for this man's "body". For 10 points, name this radical abolitionist who carried out a raid on a federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry.
