Lew Buford Brown
Major Llewellyn “Lew” Buford Brown (June 13, 1861- August 16, 1944) was a notable editor and poet in the Southern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The legendary “Sunshine Offer” he advertised in ''The Evening Independent'' was his most famous stunt and helped the little town of St. Petersburg, Florida grow exponentially.
==Early life==
Lew was born in Madison, Arkansas in the midst of the Civil War.〔Zaiser, 13〕 His mother was Amelia L. Brown and his father was George L. Brown,〔Grismer, 308〕 who served in the Confederate Army at the time of Lew’s birth and was promoted to Captain by the end of the war.〔Zaiser, 20〕 He was captured by the Union but later released as part of a prisoner trade deal.〔Zaiser, 26〕 Lew had two younger sisters, Cora and Hattie. Cora was only about two years younger than Lew, while Hattie was about five years younger than him. At 6, Lew decided to be home schooled by his father.〔Zaiser, 38〕 He would never receive a full public education despite his desire for one.
His family constantly moved around the South under Reconstruction, from Madison to St. Louis, then to Helena and eventually back to Madison. When the county seat moved to Forest City, so did the Browns.〔Zaiser, 64〕 It was in Forest City where Lew witnessed a murder of a white man at the hands of a black man.〔Zaiser, 65〕
