Description |
English: Beriah Brown (1815-1900), originally from New York, was an editor and politician who helped establish Seattle's journalistic and educational institutions. A vocal critic of President Lincoln and devoted to preserving state's rights to choose slavery, Mr. Brown was forced to flee San Francisco, where he edited the Daily Democratic Press, following Lincoln's assassination. Arriving in Seattle around 1870, he launched the Puget Sound Dispatch (later the Seattle Post-Intelligencer), served as chief clerk of the Washington legislative council, clerk of the United States Territorial District Court, and as Mayor of Seattle from 1878-1879. As president and chairman of the University of Washington board of regents, Mr. Brown supported the admission of an African American student in 1874, despite his opposition to black suffrage. In this image taken late in his life, Beriah Brown poses for a portrait.
