People

Perhaps the best way to tell the John Apperson story is to introduce you to some of the diverse group of people who became his close friends and allies. Here are some biographical sketches of individuals with whom he corresponded, including fellow engineers at GE, wealthy landowners and philanthropists, politicians, members of hiking clubs and conservation groups, progressive women, clergymen, state officials, and a long list of his siblings, nieces and nephews. After reading each person's bio, you'll see a list of items from the files, and be directed to transcriptions of each letter.
