Items accompanying Avey's book: the original publisher's prospectus signed by James Collin as publisher's agent, small printed leaflet facsimile of Brown's last written words (included with the book, according to the note written on it), and a photograph of Brown's widow's house in California. The prospectus notes "Avery... was learning the watchmaker's trade in Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia in 1859 in the days of the John Brown troubles. He heard John Brown's trial and those of his associates. He saw him and his six men executed."
