Biography

Chauncey Goodrich. ^[1]

Born 10 SEP 1798. ^[2] or 15 Sep 1798^[3]

Died 10 SEP 1858. ^[4] or 11 Sep 1858^[5][6]

"lived on his father's farm, sometimes teaching school, until 19 years old, when he left home to engage in trade; was for some six years connected with the publishing house of Oliver D. Cooke, Hartford, Conn.; went to Castleton, Vt., in 1823, and in 1827 removed to Burlington, Vt., where he established himself as a printer, publisher, and bookseller; he continued in the business of book-making and book-selling until his death. A list of his publications would include several scores of volumes, among them various writings of Bishop Hopkins of Vermont, the first American editions of writings of S. T. Coleridge, the statutes and law reports of the State, and numerous law books; besides these, he printed a good many books for New York and Philadelphia houses. His farm and fruit-garden always divided his attention with his publishing business; as an amateur horticulturist he was widely and favorably known, and probably did as much as any other man to introduce and improve the culture of fruit in Vermont and the Champlain Valley. He contributed occasionally to the periodicals on his favorite theme, pomology, and sent out under his own name a small volume on the subject, "The Northern Fruit Culturist". ^[7]
