Marksmanship is a perishable skill that needs to be developed separately from war fighting, said Staff Sgt. Brian Schacht, one of the USAMU instructors. By making Soldiers expert marksmen first, commanders save time and resources during combat fighting training.
Young Goodman Brown is often characterized as an allegory about the recognition of evil and depravity as the nature of humanity. Much of Hawthorne's fiction, such as The Scarlet Letter, is set in 17th-century colonial America, particularly Salem Village.
Following the events in Kansas, Brown spent two and a half years traveling throughout New England, raising money to bring his anti-slavery war to the South. In 1859, John Brown, under the alias Isaac Smith, rented the Kennedy Farmhouse, four miles north of Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia).
