About the Browne Family

George Browne, 1840-1912

Born in Boston, Massachusetts to George and Joanna Browne, George Browne spent much of his adult life taking risks and exploring unfamiliar lands. He served in the Civil War, rising to the rank of first lieutenant, for the 6th Independent Battery of Artillery in the New York State National Guard. Then in 1873, he married Ella (Nellie) Haskell. The couple bore three children, George, John (Jack), and Belmore.

As a broker, importer, and member of the New York Stock Exchange through the 1870s, Browne earned a significant fortune that gave him the means to pursue his interests. In 1883, he and his family relocated to Europe, and while George studied painting and architecture, the Brownes traveled around France, Italy, and Switzerland. They returned to the United States some five years later and settled in the Pacific Northwest. George used his investments to help found the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company, where he also served as secretary and treasurer.

Belmore Browne, 1880-1954

Over the course of his life, Belmore Browne, the youngest son of George and Nellie Browne, claimed many achievements as a mountaineer, artist, and author. He married Agnes Evelyn Sibley in 1913, and the couple had three children, Belmore, Evelyn and George (Belmore died in infancy).

At a young age, Belmore combined his passion for nature with his artwork. While his parents settled around Tacoma, Washington, Belmore and his brothers attended boarding schools in New England, and explored the Pacific Northwest in the summers. At age eighteen, he decided to pursue art as a career. He received formal training at the New York School of Art and the Académie Julian in Paris. He eventually won national competitions, and museums purchased his works, and hired Browne to paint dioramas for their collections.

A skilled outdoor adventurer, Browne joined several expeditions in the unexplored areas of the Pacific Northwest. He climbed Mount Olympus, in Washington State, and made three attempts to ascend Mount McKinley, in 1906, 1910, and 1912, which he recorded in The Conquest of Mount McKinley (first published in 1913). Browne came within 300 yards from reaching the summit until snowstorms forced him to retreat. He put his enthusiasm and expertise of nature into his writings, penning and illustrating Guns and Gunning (1905), a guidebook on hunting and camping; a trilogy of boys’ adventure books; and numerous articles in publications such as Harper’s, Scribner’s, Collier’s, Recreation, and Outing.

In the mid-1920s, Belmore, Agnes, and their two children moved from New York City to Banff, Alberta, Canada. They purchased a log cabin in the middle of the natural landscape, where Belmore immersed himself in his art. By the early 1930s, the Brownes alternated between Alberta in the summers, and the San Francisco Bay area in the winters.

Evelyn Browne, 1916-1994

The oldest offspring of Belmore and Agnes Browne, Evelyn Browne inherited a love for nature that carried over into her career in outdoor education. As a child, she spent the school year studying in Santa Barbara, California, and the summer months camping, hunting, and exploring the Canadian Rockies with her family on horseback and pack mules.

In 1943, after earning a master’s degree in physical education at Columbia University, Browne became an instructor in women’s physical education at the University of New Hampshire. Amongst her many contributions to the university, she established the riding program, coached riflery and basketball, and taught the first courses in outdoor education. She also continued her education, and earned a second master’s degree in history. After she retired in 1981, Browne donated six acres of land on Durham Point and set out to create an outdoor education center for the university. Now known as the Browne Center for Innovative Learning, the facility offers a host of programs and activities on its 103-acre wooded sanctuary.

George Browne, 1918-1958

From an early age, George Browne, the youngest child of Belmore and Agnes Browne, embraced his father’s interests as his own. He developed a passion for nature, grew into a skilled outdoorsman, and before his untimely death, began to emerge in the art world as a gifted painter particularly for his portrayals of waterfowl and upland game birds. He married Isabel (Tibby) McGregor in 1948, and the couple had two children, Isabel (Busy) and Belmore.

Art served as a vital outlet in George’s education and self-expression. On summer camping excursions with his family, and during winter days in northern California, George spent much of his time sketching. At age fifteen, with the support of his parents, he quit school, began an apprenticeship under his father, and then enrolled in the California School of Fine Arts.

George also inherited from his father an attraction for exploration. In the summer of 1947, after his discharge from the army, he joined an expedition with long-time friend Bradford Washburn and completed what his father failed to achieve – reach the summit of Mount McKinley. One year later, after courting San Francisco-native Tibby, the couple married and moved to Seebe, Alberta.

In the mid-1950s, as George gained a following for his paintings, the couple took their children and moved to Norfolk, Connecticut to live near the hub of the sporting art industry. Browne had sold a handful of paintings before marrying Tibby, but his reputation as an artist began to progress after a New York City art gallery agreed in 1947 to exhibit his work. Through the 1950s, he boasted several one-man shows and sold a couple hundred paintings at art galleries in North America and Canada.

But without warning, on March 14, 1958, George’s life came to a tragic end. At a weekend gathering in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, an acquaintance unfamiliar with firearms accidentally discharged a bullet from his gun, which hit George in the neck. Within an hour, the forty-year-old had passed away. After a period of bereavement, Tibby remarried to Hugh Robinson. Nevertheless, she and the children remained in close contact with Agnes and Evelyn Browne.

About the Browne Family Papers

The bulk of the manuscript collection (Boxes 1-7) consists of correspondence from members of the Browne family described above. The subheadings in the finding aid help distinguish specific eras in the lives of the Brownes; however, the correspondents and subjects of the letters often overlap and repeat throughout the collection. Many of the letters of George Browne (1840-1912) discuss his experiences serving in the Civil War.

The remaining portion includes vital records (e.g. marriage certificates), membership cards, brochures, announcements, book reviews, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other ephemera. The records from the Civil War comprise treasury notes, certificates, leave of absence and discharge papers, ledgers, sketches, hand drawn and printed maps, poems, cabinet cards, and more.
