Personal life

Lind was known for his temper. "Ex-governor John Lind, who had freed himself from the governor's duties last Thursday, walked down to the Dispatch office in St. Paul and gave Editor Black a well-deserved licking," a headline on the front page of the Moose Lake (Minnesota) Star on January 17, 1901: "Ex-governor John Lind, who had walked down to the Dispatch office in St. Paul, delivering a "John Lind, a one-armed guy, can give some warning blows every once in a while."

Early life and career

Lind was born in Knnoberg County, Sweden, on March 25, 1854. He and his parents immigrated to the United States when he was thirteen years old. Before graduating from the University of Minnesota Law School, he served as a tutor and superintendent.

Lind landed in New Ulm to practice law. Most of the residents were German, but Lind adjusted by learning to speak German almost as fluently as he could. He was soon recognized among the attorneys in the ninth circuit.

He joined the Republican party almost as soon as he opened his office; the majority of Swedes made the same decision in Minnesota. Although he was unable to vote in the 1872 presidential election, he stayed at the polls to hand out ballots. Members of the United States Land Office received their first recognition in 1881, and a Republican nomination to Congress in 1886. Lind was so dedicated to his law that he left before the courthouse in Lincoln County had closed to attend a client.
