Background
James Brown was from the United States of America.[1]
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
James Brown leaped down a mineshaft after the Eureka Stockade. He was a sailor who was expert on the rope. He slid down 30 metres to the bottom of the shaft. Some time later he took two hours to climb back up to the surface.[2]
Post 1854 Experiences
- THE EUREKA VICTIMS – On Thursday morning, about 7 o’clock, the bodies of Captain Ross, James Brown, Thonen, the lemonade seller, and Tom the blacksmith, who fell at the Eureka Stockade, and had been buried apart from the others, were removed from the grave and placed in they containing the bodies of the others who lost their lives on the memorable 3rd of December. The removal took place in the presence of Mr Superintendent Foster, Mr Salmon, trustees of the cemetery, and Mr Lessman. The coffins were in excellent preservation. We understand that no procession will take place on Thursday next, the anniversary of the Eureka affair, but the grave of the fallen will be decorated with chaplets and flowers.[3]
