John Henry Brown (1820-1895), pioneer historian, newspaper editor, soldier, and
legislator, was born on October 29, 1820, in Pike County, Missouri. Brown spent most
of his adolescence working on newspapers in Pike County and St. Louis, and received
little formal schooling. In November 1837 he moved to Texas to live with his uncle,
James Kerr, on the Lavaca River. Two years later Brown moved to Austin and began
working on the Austin Texas Sentinel. He participated
as a private in the battle of Plum Creek in August 1840. In the spring of 1842, he
joined John C. Hays's company and he suffered a hip injury in the battle of Salado;
he then took part in the Somervell expedition.
In April 1843, Brown returned to Missouri. He remained in his home state working as a
journalist for almost two years, then returned to Texas with his new wife in April
1845 and settled near Rock Spring. In late 1846 he began working on the Victoria Advocate and became a major of the newly formed
state militia. In 1848 he and his family moved to Indianola. There Brown founded and
edited the Indianola Bulletin. In 1854 Brown became
associate editor of the Civilian and Galveston Gazette.
In Galveston, he was first elected to the state legislature and after his
legislative service, was elected mayor of Galveston in 1856. He began a second term
as mayor in 1857, but it was cut short by his reelection to the legislature.
Brown moved to Belton in 1858, where he was appointed to a committee to study
problems with placing Indians on reservations and became captain of two military
companies formed in 1859 to enforce the committee's recommendations. He also again
took on editorial duties, this time for the Belton
Democrat. He edited the Democrat until 1861,
when he became a delegate to the Secession Convention, where he served as chairman
of the committee that prepared the articles of secession. With the outbreak of the
Civil War he became a member of Brig. Gen. Benjamin McCulloch's staff; he published
the War Bulletin from McCulloch's camp in Arkansas.
When the general was killed in 1862 Brown was transferred to the staff of Gen. Henry
E. McCulloch, where he served as assistant adjutant general. However, poor health
ended his military career in 1863 and Brown served the remainder of the war with the
Texas militia and commanded the Third Frontier District.
After the war, Brown and his family immigrated to Mexico in June 1865. The Browns
settled in the Tuxpan River valley, and Brown surveyed areas for settlement as
assistant commissioner of immigration for the Mexican government. After a brief
period in New Orleans the family returned to Texas to live in 1871; they finally
settled in Dallas. In 1872 Brown was again elected to the state legislature, and
three years later he became a member of the state Constitutional Convention of 1875.
During the last fifteen years of his life, Brown divided his time primarily between
political duties and historical writing and editing. In 1880–81 he served as the
revising editor of the Encyclopedia of the New West. In
1881 he was also appointed state commissioner for the surveying, marking, and
locating of school lands. He served as a Dallas alderman in 1884 and from 1885 to
1889 as the city's mayor. From 1888 to 1890 he also held a post as justice of the
peace. Brown's daughter, Marion Taylor Brown, studied art under Robert J. Onderdonk
in Dallas. Meanwhile, John Henry Brown wrote and published The
History of Dallas County, 1837–1887 (1887) and The
Life and Times of Henry Smith (1887). These were followed by Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas (ca. 1896) and The History of Texas from 1685 to 1892 (1892). Brown died
of a bronchial ailment on May 31, 1895, in Dallas.
