Brown emigrated with his father to New York in 1837. In 1843 he moved
to Toronto and founded the "Globe" newspaper which achieved great political
influence. Elected to the legislature as a Reform member in 1851,
Brown became a leader of his party in Canada-West. In 1858, with

the Great Coalition government with his adversary John A. MacDonald and
played a leading part at the Quebec Conference which led to the establishement
of the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867. Appointed to the Senate
