Daniel Collamore Heath (1843-1908)

Daniel Collamore Heath (1843–1908) was the founder of D. C. Heath and Company, part of Houghton Mifflin.

Biography[edit]

Ginn and Heath, the predecessor to D.C. Heath and Co.

Daniel C. Heath was born in Salem, Maine on October 26, 1843.[1][2] He studied at Nichols Latin School and Bates College (then called the Maine State Seminary) before graduating from Amherst College in 1868. Heath worked as a high school principal for two years before briefly attending Bangor Theological Seminary. After traveling through Europe for a year, Heath returned to the United States and worked for Edwin Ginn, a publisher. Together they started a firm called Ginn & Heath. Heath then sold his interest in the company and founded D. C. Heath and Company in Boston in 1886.[1][2]

He married Nellie Jones Knox on January 6, 1881, and they had four children.[2]

He died at his home in Newtonville, Massachusetts on January 29, 1908.[2]
