Viewing Charles A. Kent, "Memoir of Henry Billings Brown" (1915).


Charles A. Kent, "Memoir of Henry Billings Brown" (1915).

Henry Billings Brown (1836-1913) served on the United States Supreme Court from 1890 to 1906. At the time of his appointment to the Court he had been a federal district court judge for Michigan over fifteen years. After his death on September 4, 1913, Charles A. Kent, a close friend, compiled his short autobiography, excerpts from his diaries, a few letters and published them in 1915 as "Memoir of Henry Billings Brown." It is posted here.

The most thorough study of Brown is Trevor Broad, "Forgotten Man in a Tumultuous Era: The Gilded Age as Seen by United States Associate Supreme Court Justice Henry Billings Brown," Michigan Journal of History (Winter 2005). It is available online.
