John Howard Bryant
Edit Profile
Career
In the spring of 1831 John Bryant went to Jacksonville, Illinois, clerked there for a year, and then squatted on land just south of Princeton. There he lived for seventy years while the untenanted prairie became a populous farming country. His brothers, Austin, Arthur, and Cyrus, settled in the same neighborhood.
In 1835, when the land he occupied was thrown on the market, he entered a half section, to which he later added tracts of 160 and 80 acres.
Bryant prided himself on having been a member of the Republican conventions at Pittsburgh in 1856 and at Chicago in 1860. He gave hearty support to Owen Lovejoy, and, as a maintainer of the "Underground Railroad, " lodged as many as fifteen fugitive negroes under his roof at one time in 1854. Though his education had been scanty and irregular, he had a cultivated mind and was fond of writing verse, publishing Poems in 1855 and Life and Poems in 1894.
In his preference for simple stanza forms, a diction tinctured with eighteenth-century classicism, and themes drawn from nature, he resembles his greater brother.

Politics
In politics Bryant began as a Democrat, and became in turn a member of the Liberty party, a Free-Soiler, a Republican, a Liberal Republican in 1872, and a Democrat.
He prided himself on having been a member of the Republican conventions at Pittsburgh in 1856 and at Chicago in 1860.
Personality
Like his friend Lincoln John Bryant was large, powerful, and of great endurance, able in the course of a day to split a hundred rails, labor sixteen hours about the farm, or ride seventy-five miles across country on horseback.
In temper and interests he was of much the same stuff as his brother, William Cullen, to whom he was devoted.
Connections
On June 7, 1833, Bryant married Harriet Elizabeth Wiswall, who had come with her parents from Norton, Massachussets, to Jacksonville.
