When the war broke out Mowry, despite the fact that he was a Yankee, in the fullest sense of the term, was very loud in his disaffec- tion to the government which had educated him. For his disloyalty he was imprisoned in California by order of General Carleton, who was in command of the New Mexico depart- ment. He was a man of unusual ability and had he directed his energies in the proper channel, he might have become a man of mark. He after- wards appeared on the San Pedro river in Ari- zona, where he built a smelter and obtained his ores from the vicinity of what is now Tombstone. Mowry died in London in 1868, unwept and unmourned.
