Century Memorial
Henry Hobart Vail will be remembered largely for his school-books; some of those planned by him having claimed a sale of 1,200,000 copies annually. His active work as publisher and editor had extended over more than half a century, in the West and then as vice-president of the American Book Company in the East. In 1864 he went to the front with the 131st Ohio.
