Joseph Brooks (10 September 1870 – 15 May 1937) was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for Derbyshire in 1895 and 1896.
Brooks was born at South Normanton, Derbyshire, the son of John Brooks, a coal miner, and his wife Maria. He made his debut for Derbyshire in August 1895 against Hampshire when he made 2 not out in the only innings he played. He played two more games in the 1895 season and two in the 1896 season.
Brooks played seven innings in five first class matches with an average of 2,66 and a top score of 6. As last man in, he was only given out three times in his career. He was a left-arm fast-medium bowler and took 2 wickets at an average of 95.00.
Brooks died at Shuttlewood, Derbyshire, at the age of 66.
Joseph Brooks (November 1, 1812 – April 30, 1877) was a Republican politician in Arkansas after the Civil War. He is mainly remembered for losing the 1872 gubernatorial race in Arkansas and then leading a coup d'état, now referred to as the Brooks–Baxter War, in 1874.
Joseph Brooks was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and worked as a minister, preacher, and Methodist church official in Illinois and Missouri from 1840 to 1862. He also worked as a newspaper editor for the Central Christian Advocate in St. Louis.
In 1862 he joined the Union Army as a chaplain. In 1863 Brooks, an ardent abolitionist since the 1850s, became the chaplain to the African American Third Arkansas Infantry. He remained with this regiment until February 1865.
Brooks leased a cotton plantation near Helena, Arkansas after the Civil War. He helped organize African Americans in Arkansas and tried to get them active in the Republican Party. He was a delegate at the Arkansas Constitutional Convention in 1868. His strong advocacy of voting rights for African Americans won him strong support from them. However, it eventually alienated other parts of the Republican Party.

Plot: Most of the trade reviewers of the time gave this oater high marks for originality, evidently based on the "Dragnet"-style narration, since there was nothing original about the story Dan Ullman slapped his name on as it is just a remake of "Flaming Bullets, PRC, 1945", "Wanted: Dead or Alive, Monogram, 1952" and Monogram, PRC and Republic also had other offerings based on this plot, while Ullman sold it again in 1957 for George Montgomery's "Last of the Badmen." Two bad things happened to the western genre following "High Noon" and TV's "Dragnet"; a majority of the westerns made from that point onward in the 50s and 60s either had a narrative theme song (usually bad and giving away the plot under the opening credits) or an off-screen narrator or, sometimes, both. The plot has a gang of outlaws springing prisoners from jails in 1879 Texas, robbing banks and holding up stagecoaches with the blame being pinned on the escapees, and then knocking them off to collect the ever-increasing reward money. Texas Ranger Ed Ryan comes ridin' along and soon puts an end to the racket and gang headed by Luke Andrews. The viewer has to take the narrator's word for some of how he manages this, and cynics might get the idea that the use of a narrator was just a way of not spending the money to shoot some explanatory scenes.
