Noah Webster

Noah Webster (1758-1843), while playing key roles in the history of American publishing and in politics, is best remembered for publishing "Webster's Dictionary" as it became popularly known (after an 1828 effort, the first fully expanded edition came out in 1840). The name Webster has become synonymous with dictionaries.
