Author: Samuel H. Morgan
This is the story of the Briggs & Morgan law firm, one of St. Paul’s oldest and biggest, inextricably tied up with the growth of the city and its major business enterprises. The firm’s rise began with Weyerhauser timber interests; later came iron ore and U.S. Steel; still later 3M and H.B. Fuller. Famous partners included Cushman Davis, a Minnesota governor and U.S. Senator, and Frank B. Kellogg, Senator, ambassador, secretary of state, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. The firm handled many interesting cases, some of which are described here.
