Brown and his men had resisted attacks…

Brown and his men had resisted attacks by the local militia throughout the next day and night, but on the following morning he surrenders to a small force of U.S. Marines who, in little more than an hour, have broken in and overpowered him. (The leader of the force is Robert E. Lee, who had received these orders while on leave at Arlington to straighten out the entangled affairs of his late father-in-law.)

Brown himself is wounded, and ten of his followers (including two sons) have been killed.
