This building is a pulp mill, and is on the
site of the Hall Rifle Works, one of the Govern-
ment shops in 1859. This was one of the strategic
points selected by Brown in his attack on Harpers
Ferry, and was held by John H. Kagi, the right-
hand man of Brown, and two others under his
command. When this point was rendered untena-
ble by the neighboring militia, Kagi attempted to
escape by wading across the Shenandoah, which
is quite shallow here, and was shot down upon the
prominent rock shown in the picture.
