EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Carl Browne, a multifaceted figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, stands proudly before a backdrop of the American countryside. Known for his roles as a cattle rancher, cartoonist, journalist, and politician, Browne is most famously remembered as the organizer of Coxey's Army, a protest movement during the economic depression of 1894. Browne, referred to as the "originator, organizer, and Chief Marshal" of the march to Washington D.C., led thousands of unemployed Americans, often referred to as "Coxey's Army" or "The Commonweal of Christ," in their quest for employment and economic relief. The photograph captures Browne in his characteristic attire, donning a buckskin jacket, fringed coat, and a cowboy hat adorned with a band that reads "Commonweal Castle." The image, taken by Bell in April 1894 during the march in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the determination and resilience of the American spirit during a time of economic hardship. Browne's presence as a leader and advocate for the unemployed demonstrates the power of unity and the belief that "the pen is mightier than the sword." This evocative photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, is a testament to the rich history of the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image showcases the diverse roles and experiences of individuals who shaped the nation's history, as well as the enduring spirit of those who sought to make a difference in their communities.
