This book is from the estate of John Robert Gregg Jr. Born April 25, 1935 in Manhattan, N.Y. to John Robert Gregg, inventor of Gregg shorthand, and Janet Kinley Gregg, daughter of economist David Kinley, he worked briefly as an editor for the Sierra Club in San Francisco before moving to York, Maine in 1967, where he lived the rest of his life winter, spring and fall. He died in York in 2019. Summers he spent at his beloved cottage on the French River, Ontario.

His extensive collected library was supplemented by inherited collections from a number of allied families who lived in both Chicago and Manhattan. Subjects include Canadian and Arctic exploration, Inuits, American Revolutionary War; Novels and poetry by William Shakespeare, Keats and Shelley, Marlowe, Bierce, Douglas, as well as plays etc.  

I purchased several hundred of his books at auction and will be listing them, probably until I die!
