EspañolHENRY DAVIS MINOT
'Henry Davis Minot' (1859 – November 14, 1890) was a Massachusetts naturalist and railroad executive, born near Forest Hills, Massachusetts.
He attended Harvard College in 1876, where he was friends with classmate Theodore Roosevelt, who, like Minot, was interested in ornithology. In 1877, he published ''The Land Birds and Game Birds of New England'' at the age of seventeen. He left Harvard during his sophomore year.
After leaving Harvard he became involved in railroad investments. He traveled extensively and reported on various railroad systems, from Mexico to Minnesota. At one point he was the director of the Great Northern Railroad. In 1887, he became the president of a new railroad line which connected Manitoba to Lake Superior. He was also involved in a variety of other commercial enterprises, including steamships and streetcars in Superior, Wisconsin.
He died in a train crash in Pennsylvania on November 14, 1890. He was only thirty-one years old.
The city of Minot, North Dakota was named after him, and a park in Massachusetts was dedicated in his honor. [1]
