Dana Estes was the son of Joseph and Maria (Edwards) Estes, and a descendant on the paternal side of one of the early English settlers of Maine. His mother was of Scotch-Irish ancestry.
In 1855 he went to Augusta, where he became a clerk in a general wholesale and retail country store.
Going to Boston in 1859, and making his home there for the rest of his life, he entered the book business, for which he had had so great a liking since early childhood that he had made it the goal of his ambition, and thenceforward it became his life-work.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 4th Battalion Rifles, which became the nucleus of the 13th Massachusetts Infantry, and during the second battle of Bull Run he was disabled by wounds that incapacitated him for further service.
Association with various bookselling and publishing houses in Boston followed his recovery, and in partnership with Charles E. Lauriat he eventually established the firm of Estes & Lauriat, devoting himself to the wholesale and manufacturing part of the business, while Lauriat was in active charge of the retail trade of the firm.
Their bookstore stood for many years on Washington St. , opposite the Old South Meeting House.
They were among the earliest booksellers and publishers in the United States to bring to American readers the works of standard European writers, especially of historians and novelists.
Among their other specialties, due largely to Estes’s energy, was the publication of travel and adventure stories for young readers, notably the Zigzag Journey Series by Hezekiah Butterworth, the Vassar Girl Series by Elizabeth Williams Champney, and the Knockabout Club Series by C. A. Stephens.
He was also an active member of the Browning Society, and a leader in the movement of international copyright.
Some years after the publishing part of the business had been removed to the Estes Press Buildings, erected through his enterprise on Summer Street Extension, the partners separated, and he established the new firm of Dana Estes & Company.
His business brought him not only the acquaintance but the personal friendship of many eminent men of letters both in America and in Europe.
