Browne was a New York Tribune journalist who made a daring escape from Salisbury Confederate Prison in December 1864. He is here shown shortly after his return to the north, apparently in his prison garb. The partnership of Dennis & Fry, which produced this photograph, lasted only from 1865 to 1866.
