1845–1916
A Civil War veteran turned printer, editor, and historian, he helped preserve the local history of Missouri and Minnesota in a long run of county histories and historical studies. His work is especially tied to Minnesota’s early historical record and to careful, document-based storytelling about the nineteenth century.
