Viewing "The Goodrich Library." (1887).


"The Goodrich Library." (1887).

Aaron Goodrich, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Minnesota Territory, was an inveterate collector of old books. He went on a book buying binge when he served as secretary of the American Legation in Brussels, Belgium, 1861-1869. After his death on June 24, 1887, his widow invited a local newspaper reporter to inspect the 2,500 volume collection. "The Goodrich Library" appeared in the St. Paul Sunday Globe on July 17, 1887.
