President Abraham Brown

• President in: The Music Master of Babylon by Edgar Pangborn (1954)
• In 2020, successfully guides the country through the terrible experience of a Second Civil War, in the course of which nuclear weapons are used and large parts of New York City destroyed. Lives to a great old age in retirement, long enough to see the world devastated in "The Final War" of 2070. In the aftermath, Brown's hometown of Newburgh, New York becomes the center of a short-lived "North American Soviet", whose members arrest the old ex-president and torture him to death. After the fall of that regime, the dead President is revered by survivors as "a martyr who gave his life for the people". Gradually, with few records left from before the worldwide destruction, Brown's memory is conflated with that of Jesus Christ as well as Abraham Lincoln and the Biblical Abraham, to create the divine figure of "Abraham" whose worship is the basis of "The Holy Murkan Church" in Pangborn's later novel Davy.
