Everything But The House, a revolutionary online personal property and estate sale service provider, is pleased to present an extraordinary selection of Antiquarian and rare books, coins, antiques and paintings from the collection of Hal and Carolyn Bjornson of Montgomery, Ohio. A multigenerational collection, many of the books are from the estate of Gunnar B. Bjornson, a prominent Minnesota publisher and politician. Born in Iceland in 1872, Gunnar immigrated to the United States at the age of four, and by 1895 he was the publisher and editor of the Minnesota Mascot newspaper. He served as president of the Minnesota Editorial Association and was a member of the State Legislature in 1913. He also served as State Chairman of the Republican Party. Gunnar's son, Hjalmar, continued in the family line of business as an editor of the Mascot and the Minneapolis Tribune. Grandson Hal Bjornson has served as curator of the book collection to the present day. This collection features works published in English, Icelandic and French, dating from 1596 to present day, with over 100 lots predating 1899. Several exciting segments of this collection include many early political writings and titles by Daniel Webster.
