John Brown and his men were captured at Harper's Ferry by forces led by Colonel Robert E. Lee, who was in command of the U.S. Marines at the time. After a brief but intense confrontation on October 18, 1859, the Marines stormed the armory where Brown and his followers were barricaded. The operation resulted in the arrest of Brown and several of his men, ultimately leading to Brown's trial and execution for treason.
