Note to self: Not sure if this is really worthy of a full Wikipedia article, but I do want to gather a few references that I found because I submitted his name to the Dictionary of Wisconsin History.

Philetus C. Hale was a Milwaukee book seller who breifly operated a bindery, and in partnership with Silas Chapman produced the earliest books of Increase Lapham, which were influential in the commercial, agricultural and industrial development of Wisconsin as it transitioned from a territory to a state, as well as in the rapid growth years which followed. He was born in Westfield, MA on blah blah blah

Hale was a descendant of Nathan Hale. Fact check!!
