Viewing Thomas Hughes: "The Bench and Bar of Blue Earth County" (1909).Thomas Hughes: "The Bench and Bar of Blue Earth County" (1909).Thomas Hughes, a prominent Mankato lawyer, published a history of Blue Earth County in 1909. Unlike most county histories at this time, which were arranged by topics, he chronicled events year-by-year, giving an appearance of lasting significance to election results, storms, fires and similar phenomena. He included little about court proceedings or members of the bar.
