John Henry Kagi, also spelled John Henri Kagi (March 15, 1835 – October 17, 1859), was an American attorney, abolitionist, and second in command to John Brown in Brown's failed raid on Harper's Ferry.
Kagi was a self-educated, intelligent man who developed a hatred of slavery while teaching in Virginia. Brown's most trusted lieutenant, he tried to convince Brown to take the battle to the surrounding hills.
Kagi found a kindred spirit in John Brown and eventually became the Secretary of War in Brown’s “Provisional Government” and one of John Brown’s most trusted advisors. For the abolitionist cause, John endures beatings, a gunshot wound, harassment, poverty, and several imprisonments.
Kagi was imprisoned first at Lecompton and then at Tecumseh, but was finally liberated. He was assaulted and severely injured by Judge Elmore, the pro-slavery judge, who struck him over the head with a gold headed cane, on January 31, 1857.
