Hisbiography on the Thoreau Society's site reads in full: "Leonard F. Kleinfeld was the eighteenth president of the Thoreau Society. Born in Manhattan, he first came to Thoreau by reading Walden and Cape Cod in his late teens. Walden became his 'bedside bible,' and he vowed to never lead a life of quiet desperation. A trip to Walden Pond in 1919 made him a Thoreauvian for life. He studied at New York University but was known for being self-schooled and hard-working. Finding work as an importer-exporter, Kleinfeld was able to travel around the world and to start Thoreau groups in such countries as France, England, Japan, and Argentina. He visited the Channel Islands in order to complete a Thoreau genealogy. He was notable for his large Thoreau library and collection of Thoreauviana, which included stones from the Walden house and boards from the Texas house." Ruth Wheeler was a devoted historian of Concord (and she lived for a time at Thoreau's birthplace), andher papersare held at the Concord Free Library. Griscom was a Professor of Women's Studies at William Paterson University and lived in Lexington.
