William Chester Minor, an American army surgeon, psychiatric hospital patient, and lexicographical researcher, made significant contributions to the Oxford English Dictionary during his incarceration in England. He compiled quotations from his personal library to aid in the dictionary project. Minor’s influential career in lexicography came to an end when he was deported to the United States in 1910, as ordered by Winston Churchill.
