Brown, C. A. (Charles A.), 1848-1930.

Dr. Charles A. Brown, graduate of Virginia Medical College, was a physician from Virginia who migrated west in the mid- to late 1800s to seek his fortune in mining. Throughout his time as a frontiersman in both Bonanza, Colorado and Rincon, New Mexico (among other western towns), Brown managed to eke out a living at various professions, including medicine, mining, ranching and livestock raising, working on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as surgeon and clerk, and always looking for a plan to get-rich-quick. Dr. Charles A. Brown is mentioned as one of the few doctors located in Doña Ana County, New Mexico (in Rincon, specifically) in 1884 by Ralph Emerson Twitchell.
