James Bryan (1789–1822) was a mining entrepreneur whose efforts in concert with others brought economic development to Missouri.〔Schroeder, Walter A., Opening the Ozarks: A Historical Geography of Missouri’s Ste. Genevieve District, 1760–1830, Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Press, 2002. p. 284. ISBN 0-8262-1398-7〕 Bryan was a mining executive of his time. Bryan operated "Bryan's Mines" on Hazel Run, north of Big River, in SW 1/4 of Sec. 33, T. 37N. 5E. in 1806; this location is also known as "Hazel Run Lead Digging."〔Zimmer, Gertrude M. "Place Names Of Five Southeast Counties Of Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1944〕 Bryan also attained significance when the United States Supreme Court recognized details of a land transfer from Moses Austin to Bryan in Bryan v. Kennett, the Court's ratification of the Louisiana Purchase. Bryan also donated land to the public so public buildings could then be constructed in Missouri.〔http://www.communityalmanac.org/Herculaneum-MO/Timeline〕 Bryan was also a significant land owner in Arkansas too and was recognized in a book published by the Arkansas History Commission.〔"The highlights of Arkansas history By Dallas Tabor Herndon, Arkansas History Commission", p. 32, ISBN 0-548-31290-7〕 James also owned a plantation in Missouri.〔http://www.carrollscorner.net/HendersonHistoryOfSoutheastMissouri.htm〕 The city of Bryan, Texas is named for him. ==Family and Legacy Impact on Development of Texas== Paternally, James Bryan began a family which had a unique and dramatic impact on the early Anglo development of Texas. James was the first husband of Emily Margaret Brown Austin, brother-in-law of Stephen F. Austin, son-in-law of Moses Austin, and father to several early Anglo settlers of Texas including William Joel Bryan, Moses Austin Bryan. and Guy Morrison Bryan. The Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas deems James Bryan historically significant in that they maintain writings as well as communications that pertain to him under the heading "Bryan, James"〔http://www.cah.utexas.edu/services/finding_items/archives_index.php?manuindex=b〕 such as: "Austin Papers, 1676, 1765-1889" and *Bryan (James) Papers, 1799-1822. Moses Austin send Bryan a memorandum at or about 1819 and this is found in the collection at the University of Texas.〔http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/00359.xml〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Bryan (mining executive)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
