Mexican War / Transportation Company

During the Mexican war Charles Stillman recruited Richard King and Mifflin Kenedy in the transport company transporting American troops up the river and supplying them.After the Mexicans were defeated Stillman purchased a great amount of properties of the Garza grand north and northwest of Matamoros from the family Cavazos. But Stillman later on started a town by sell lots for as much as $1,500 each which settled from around 3,000 to 4,000 people and named it Brownsville.
