Shields Green lived with Frederick Douglass in Rochester, New York, for nearly two years and met John Brown through him. Sensing doom, Douglass discouraged Green from joining Brown, but Green said he would "go with the old man." Green was captured in the engine house on the morning of October 18, put on trial, and hanged on December 16, 1859.
