Book Description
Excerpt from History of Chickasaw and Howard Counties, Iowa, Vol. 2: Illustrated His demonstrated ability as vice president and general manager of the Lake Shore Michigan Southern Railway Company, led by rapid promotion to vice president in charge of operation and maintenance of the New York Central Hudson River Railroad Company, vice president in charge of maintenance and Operation of all the railroads in the Central System; senior vice president in charge of all the departments of the entire System, and president. He had won all these positions through a wide and varied experience, hard work and close study. He was unusually equipped for its great responsibilities when he came to be the executive head of this System with its twelve thousand miles of railroad, extending through nine states and into the Dominion of Canada, and having in its employment one hundred and sixty thousand men. He has kept in harmony while maintaining discipline and efficiency with this great working force. Under his administration the relations have been cordial between the railroads and the people in the territory which it serves. The business of the system has doubled in revenue and tonnage. The vast construction and engineering work in the remodeling and remaking the New York terminal and station has been uninterruptedly carried on, and railway operators at home and abroad have expressed their admiration that difficulties have been so overcome that train service has been maintained, and the electrification of the Central in and about New York carried to completion without delaying or retarding the engineers, architects and contractors. Mr. Brown has been a pioneer in agricultural experiments for the increase of the output of the farms, at the expense of and under the management of the rail road company. It brings the railroads and the farmers together for their mutual advantage. At three score, and after forty-four years of unremitting labor in his chosen profession, Mr. Brown has earned the privilege of retirement from active and exacting responsibilities. He leaves this company carrying with him our highest respect for him as an official, and our warmest regard for him as a man. May he enjoy long years of health and happiness.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Chickasaw and Howard Counties, Iowa In May, 1671, a great council of Indians gathered at the Falls of St. Mary, from all parts of the northwest, from the head waters of the St. Lawrence, from the valley of the Mississippi and from the Red River of the North. Perrot met with them, and after grave consultation, formally announced to the assembled nations that their good French Father felt an abiding interest in their wel fare, and had placed them all under the powerful protection of the French Government. Marquette, during that same year had gathered at Point St. Ignace the remnants of one branch of the Hurons. This station, for a long series of years, was considered the key to the unknown West.
