Solving The Legend of J. C. Brown- Final Edition

The Stockton, California mystery reported in the Stockton Record 1934 newspaper has been solved. Stockton, California residents will be pleased to learn the identity of the man who claimed to be J.C. Brown. The information below will connect the dots. I will also provide two additional emails with
information that proves without a shadow of doubt that John Body was visiting his wife Mary Hamer Body's family on the same street where the meetings were held at John C. Root's home for six weeks.

Solving The Legend

It is my strong belief that that J.C. Brown was really a man named John Benjamin Body who showed up at the Stockton Record editor's office in 1934, claiming to have made an amazing discovery of an ancient civilization of Giants living under the bowels of of a mountain in the Cascade Mountain Range while working as a prospector (Civil Engineer) for the Lord Cowdray Mining Company of England, thirty years earlier.

My research tracks John Benjamin Body and his wife Mary Hamer Body from Mexico through the Laredo, Texas border and then on to Mary Hamer Body's relatives (Hamer) who also lived on 1725 San Jaoquim Street and still own the home, across the street from where retired printer John C. Root lived and held meetings for six weeks with the fictitious J.C. Brown alias John Benjamin Body @ North 1784 San Jaoquim Street. John Benjamin Body was a frequent visitor from 1903 to 1934 to Stockton, California on his travels back and forth to the Shasta Springs Resort in Dunsmuir, California.

American folklore and legend is now one less mystery due to my relentless pursuit in solving the legend of J.C. Brown alias John Benjamin Body who working his entire career as a Civil Engineer for The Lord Cowdray Mining Company of England. Lord Cowdray was really a man named Weetman Pearson who was knighted in 1916, thus the title of 1st Viscount was awarded to him.

For more on the men of the legend, I have included a the book entitled “British Lions And Mexican Eagles, written by Paul Garner for evidence to support my research.
