Jordan House is the chief conductor — the 'Polk County' that's the titled him, the '1850' that's the basement-first build. The 'John Brown' is the guest — the 'twice' that's the stayed, the 'twelve slaves' that's the led through once. The 'senator' is the cover — the 'moved the capital' that's the to Des Moines, the 'railroad' that's the brought to Valley Junction.
The 'fields and barns' is the hides — the 'outbuildings' that's the hid the seekers, the 'enormous oaks' that's the gone now. The 'Virginia' is the born — the 'Greenbrier' that's the slave state raised, the 'Uncle Jimmy' that's the hospitality. Jordan is the rule-breaker — the 'state senator' that's the broke federal law, the 'Fugitive Act' that's the defied daily.
The file keeps Jordan House: the chief conductor, Brown's two stays, the basement rooms, and the senator's double life.
Jordan House is the archive's Iowa file — the lawmaker who broke law.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Jordan House is the archive's Iowa file — the politician's secret basement.
A house keeps its senator — the file's suggestion being that Jordan's hold is the doubled: the 'chief conductor' that's the titled in secret, the 'capital moved' that's the public fame, and the 'Brown' that's the slept there twice.
