Goodspeed Publishing

United States publishing firm

Goodspeed Publishing was established by Westin Arthur Goodspeed in the late 19th century and was based in Nashville, Tennessee, St Louis, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois. By the early 1880s Goodspeed had success with a series of state and regional histories in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other northern states, and went on to repeat that success in other areas of the U.S. The publications were primarily divided into sections for each county they studied, and included descriptions of each area's geography, history, government, and religious institutions.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
