Charles Carroll Soule (June 25, 1842 – January 7, 1913) was an American bookman with a side specialty in the architecture of libraries. Born in Boston to Richard Soule, Jr. (1812–1877) and Harriet Winsor (1816–1905)[1] he attended the Boston Latin School and Harvard College (1862), and fought in the Civil War (44th and 55th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantries).[2] After the war he engaged in public speaking about post-slavery reconciliation in Orangeburg County, South Carolina.[3]

In the 1870s he worked in St. Louis in the publishing firm of Soule, Thomas & Winsor. [4][5] In the 1880s he ran a business selling law books from offices in Pemberton Square, Boston,[6] and in 1886 opened a bookshop in a former church on Beacon Street, near the Boston Athenaeum.[7] He established the Boston Book Company in 1889, and established The Green Bag, a legal news magazine with Horace Williams Fuller as editor. He belonged to the American Library Association.[8]

He married Louisa Charless Farwell in 1878 and had 4 children.[1] Towards the end of his life he resided in Brookline.
