He wrote and published 'The Iconoclast' magazine out of Waco, Texas in the 1890's. Circulation was in every state and 20 foreign countries. He was shot in the back by an irate Baptist on a downtown Waco street. He turned, pulled his pistol and killed his assassin. Baptists disliked Brann because he ridiculed their preachers in his writings. His marker has no name or dates, only the single word "Truth". Two bullets were fired into the headstone the night it was erected (still visible).
