Arny reportedly gave this Colt Navy revolver to John Brown in 1856 in recognition of his efforts for the Free State cause. According to Arny, Brown returned the revolver to him when he learned that Arny did not support his methods. Arny came to Kansas in 1857 and was involved in the Free State movement, serving as a delegate to the Grasshopper Falls Convention and as a member of the Leavenworth Constitutional Convention. He was also elected to the first State Legislature. Arny donated the revolver to the Kansas Historical Society in 1879. Alternatively, it is possible that the revolver was one of fifty purchased by John Brown supporters back East and sent to him in Kansas. Because he was keeping a low profile, Brown couldn't receive the shipment and the revolvers were distributed to Kansans who might be able to use them to support the cause. Brown later attempted to retrieve the weapons with little success. Arny may have received this revolver and kept it until the time of donation. </span> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr></hr> <table> <tr> <td width="100"> <a href="/item/6902"> <img src="https://images.kansasmemory.gov/thumb/k305572.jpg" alt="1855 rescue of free stater Jacob Branson" width="98" /> </a> </td> <td> <p> <a href="/item/6902" title=""> 1855 rescue of free stater Jacob Branson </a> <br /> Creator: Abbott, James Burnett, 1818-1897 <br /> Date: Between 1855 and 1860 <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;" id="item_description_6902"> James Abbott, a free state activist who participated in several Kansas Territory conflicts (including the rescues of John Doy and Jacob Branson), wrote this account of the 1855 rescue of Jacob Branson.

Dow by Franklin Coleman, a proslavery neighbor. Abbott and his cohorts successfully rescued Branson, although their actions were controversial even among fellow free state supporters. Certain aspects of Abbott's account of these events disagreed with an earlier account provided by Samuel Wood, and Abbott addressed those discrepancies in this document.
