It is marked " Grizzly Point " on the map of these mountains published by 

 the Mount lyowe Railway Co. in 1893, the author of which probably did 

 not know that this point had ever been named before. But the Giddings 

 family had made a burro trail up to it from Millard canyon six years before 

 the mountain railroad company's advent. However, they had not kept it 

 open ; it was much overgrown, had lapsed into fragmentary hunting trails, 

 and their claiming and naming of it remained only as a reminiscent scrap 

 of history. As seen from the Giddings farm it looks like a distinct moun- 

 tain peak. 



Brown's Peak. — In front of Mount Disappointment as we look from 



Pasadena there is a stretch of front 

 range summit ridge, with four or five 

 slightly elevated knobs, and one of 

 these (perhaps the middle one) was 

 called Brown's peak. The Valley 

 Union of Deceijiber 4, 1881, said: 

 "Owen Brown, son of 'Old John,' 

 arrived here Monday, November 30, 

 from Put-in-Bay, Ohio, to join his 

 brother Jason, and sister (Mrs. Ruth 

 B. Thompson), already here. He is a 

 man nearly 60 3'ears of age." Again, 

 June 18, 1886, the same paper said : 



"Owen Brown, residing with his 



brother Jason on the Mountain Home 



tract, has made claim and mounted 



his flag on a mountain summit above 



Prieta canj^on (the same that has been 



called "Negro canyon"). Owen 



Brown is the only man now living who 



was with John Brown, his father, at 



"Land of Sunshine," April, 1895. Harpcr's Fcrry, and his mountain 



OWEN BROWN'S GRAVE. summit will be known as the "John 



[See page 322.] Browu Peak." He is building a 



horseback trail to carry visitors to the mountain top, and many persons 



will go there from historic S5mpathy or curiosit3^ Jason Brown has eighty 



acres of mesa land and also a timber claim in same vicinity." 



And still again, January 29, 1887, the Union reported that Brown's trail 

 was completed about half way up. But this ended it. They had no funds, 

 were obliged to earn their daily bread, and never built their trail any farther. 

 Owen died January 8, 1889, and lies buried on top of a foot-hill spur above 

 I^as Ca.sitas. Jason was employed a year or two on Echo Mountain, but 

 finally in March, 1894, he went back to his old home at Akron, Ohio.
