Title A name given to the resource Kossuth in Concord Subject The topic of the resource Lajos Kossuth Description An account of the resource The plight of European political refugees following failed revolutions against autocratic rule in the late 1840s engaged the sympathy of American reformers. Margaret Fuller, who witnessed first-hand and aided the revolution in Rome, was working on a book about it when she died in 1850. Elizabeth Peabody edited a collection titled Crimes of the House of Austria Against Mankind, which was published in 1850. In 1851, exiled Hungarian statesman and patriot Lajos Kossuth traveled to America in search of assistance for his homeland. In May of 1852, Concord was one of the towns he visited in New England. Kossuth came on May 7th. He dined and visited the Battle Ground and the site of the old North Bridge—icons of the struggle for American political freedom—before proceeding to the Town Hall. The children of the town had been gathered to welcome him. Emerson formally greeted and introduced Kossuth, referring to him as “the foremost soldier of freedom in this age.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Town of Concord Committee of Arrangements Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1852 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All materials courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library Concord Emerson Kossuth Refugees
