EDITORS COMMENTS
Carl Browne: The Unemployed Army's Visionary Leader in 1894, Captured by Harris & Ewing This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Carl Browne, the organizer of Coxey's Army, a historic protest movement that took place in the United States in 1894. Browne, an American cattle rancher, cartoonist, journalist, and politician, is shown here in his distinctive attire, including a buckskin coat, fringed jacket, and a cowboy hat adorned with a large feather. Browne's role in the Coxey's Army movement was significant. He was the originator, organizer, and Chief Marshal of the March to Washington D.C. 1894 of the Unemployed, officially known as 'The Commonweal of Christ' but commonly referred to as 'Coxey's Army.' The movement aimed to draw attention to the plight of the unemployed and to pressure the government to provide jobs and relief. The inscription on the back of the photograph reads, 'The pen is mightier than the sword.' Browne was not only a charismatic leader but also a prolific writer, using his journalistic skills to spread awareness of the movement. The 'Castle' in the inscription likely refers to the Commonweal 'Castle,' the name of the newspaper that Browne published in California. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing in April 1894 during the march on Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. The image of Browne, with his bushy beard and determined expression, encapsulates the spirit of the movement and the resilience of those who sought to challenge the status quo.
