He began his business career as a clerk in the dry goods store of T.J. Casey, at Richmond, Missouri.
At the commencement of the Civil War, prompted by a spirit of patriotic devotion to his adopted state, Mr. Mann responded to her governor's first call and enlisted in May 1861 in Colonel Reeves' regiment of General Sterling Price's command.

He followed the "crimson banner of stars and bars" throughout the battles of Carthage, Wibons Creek, Lexington, Pea Ridge, Cape Girardeau, Potosi, and Pilot Know. At Pea Ridge he was disabled by a wound and fell into the hands of the enemy. After living in the hospital for about two months, he was exchanged and joined General Joe. O. Shelby's calvary brigade, with whom he continued until the close of the war, and then, when the people's hope were dead and the banner he loved so well was furled forever, Mr. Mann laid down his arms, with his comrades, at Shreveport, Louisiana and, returning to Richmond, Missouri, resumed the peaceful avocation of a merchant in that place. He located in Jamesport in 1872 and by his gentlemanly bearing and fair and honorable dealing has built up a mercantile business of which a metropolitan city might justly feel proud.
