Brown is a social reform narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the plight of the homeless and unemployed in society, particularly focusing on the author's firsthand experiences as he investigates their conditions across various American cities. The central theme revolves around advocating for a "Municipal Emergency Home" in every city to provide essential support and dignity to the needy. The opening of the work introduces the author’s personal background and motivation for embarking on his crusade. Brown shares his childhood and the loss of his father, which deeply affected him and fueled his compassion for the less fortunate. He describes the urgency he felt after encountering homeless individuals in Denver, which prompts him to investigate conditions across cities like Chicago and New York. He underscores the systemic issues leading to homelessness, including societal neglect and inefficient charity, setting the stage for his calls for practical reforms oriented towards compassion and justice for those in need.
