Abstract

Šoštanj has a rich history, owing to the many famous persons who were born or who worked in this town. In addition to the Vošnjak family, the Fran Mayer family, the famous and prize-winning gardener Alojz Kojc, sculptor Ivan Napotnik and poet Karl Destonik-Kajuh, it is necessary to mention Peter Musi (1799-1875), famous teacher, librarian, writer and savings-bank owner, who had a major influence on the cultural development of Šoštanj and later on the work of the Vošnjak brothers. Over 140 years have passed since his death, so the article will build on fragments to try and reconstruct Musi and his life.
