Front hall of the Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick house

Description

Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick, professor of botany at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, left his wife a thirteen-room house and small bungalow filled to the rafters with books upon his death. When Robert Vosper heard of the sale, he and several assistants literally mined the house and transported three five-ton truck loads of books on the history of science, especially American botany.
