Noah Webster Fact Sheet






















 In the last two posts, I talked about Noah Webster, born in West Hartford, and his Blue -Backed Speller and the Webster Dictionary.

Here are some other facts about Noah Webster.

1. Noah Webster lived in a house in New Haven that belonged to Benedict Arnold, which was later saved by Henry Ford who
moved it to Greenfield Village, Michigan.

2. Webster fought for strict copyright laws. Only the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is based on Webster's own dictionary. Other Webster dictionaries are not.

3. Noah Webster received less than one cent per copy of the 25 million copies of the Blue-Backed Speller.

4. Noah Webster was frequently in debt (this is a pattern for writers, see previous posts about Mark Twain.)

5. He was a founder of Amherst College
