Viewing Henry A. Morgan: "Bench and Bar of Freeborn County." (1911)Henry A. Morgan: "Bench and Bar of Freeborn County." (1911)Henry A. Morgan made multiple contributions to a history of Freeborn County published in 1911. First, he wrote a chapter on the "Bench and Bar," which contains short biographical sketches of fifty-eight lawyers and judges who lived, practiced and served in the county beginning in the 1870s and continuing for the next forty years. Each of these men contributed, most slightly and a few deeply, to the growth of the legal profession in this state. Next, he wrote about four famous cases that were tried in county courts. And finally, he wrote a flattering self-portrait. |
