Biographical / Historical

Paul Aloysius Schaefer was born in Rotterdam, NY on September 13, 1908 to Rose Agnes Merkle Schaefer and Peter Aloysius Schaefer. Before becoming a clerk at General Electric, Peter Schaefer studied for the priesthood in Germany, a pursuit he left due to failing health. During this time Peter became a skilled mountain climber.

Rose Schaefer was a devout Catholic who sang in the Church for most of her life. However, she too suffered from poor health including tuberculosis, asthma, severe seasonal allergies, and multiple instances of cancer. In 1921, Rose began receiving treatment at the New York State Hospital for Incipient Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Ray Brook, NY, near the Adirondack High Peaks region. In order to remove Rose from her allergies in Rotterdam and locate the family closer to the hospital, the Schaefers took up partial residence in a rustic Adirondack cabin near Bakers Mills. During this time, Rose taught her children about the spiritual element of nature and the importance of wild places. She broached these subjects through the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, Romantic literature, and the encouragement of outdoor explorations of any kind, including hiking, snowshoeing, hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Paul, in particular, “thrived in this wild country” and in the following two years his passion for the wilderness grew. However, by 1923, his parents’ health had dwindled alarmingly. In order to help support his family and cover their mounting medical bills, Schaefer left high school at 15 to begin work as an apprentice carpenter. Schaefer disliked this work. To escape, Schaefer began hitchhiking to the Adirondacks on weekends and began voraciously reading books on the Adirondacks during his workweek.

At this time, Schaefer resolved to collect a personal library on the Adirondacks. His library did not discriminate between technical volumes on natural science and environmental literature and philosophy by the likes of “John Burroughs, Henry David Thoreau, Francis of Assisi, and Viscount Francois Rene de Chateaubriand”. Soon Schaefer started writing nature essays and poetry of his own.

In 1929, Schaefer joined the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club. Founded by John S. Apperson Jr. and Paul’s older brother Vincent Schaefer, the organization promoted an appreciation of the outdoors and encouraged conservation. It was in the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club that Schaefer met Carolyn Keesberg. Carolyn was also an enthusiastic outdoorswomen and conservationist. In 1934 the two married and would go on to have five children.

In the early 1930s, Schaefer began transitioning from a recreationalist to an active conservationist. During this decade, Schaefer was mentored by two giants of the preservationist community, John S. Apperson Jr. and Robert Marshall. Apperson and Marshall brought Schaefer under their wings during the grass roots campaigns against the Closed Cabin Amendment and the proposed fire truck trails in the Adirondacks.

In 1945, Schaefer led the fight against a series of proposed dams in the Adirondack Park. Later known as both the Battle for Moose River Plains or the Black River Wars, Schaefer’s campaign was one of the largest and most successful grass roots environmental operations in U.S. history. Howard Zahniser of The Wilderness Society modeled his fight against the Echo Park dam in Utah's Dinosaur National Monument after Schaefer’s work in New York.

Following the success of the Black River Wars, Schaefer went on to lead New York’s environmental movement until his death in 1996. During this time, he was particularly known for his work surrounding the Adirondack Northway; the protection of waterways, rivers, and streams; his film work and writings; and the establishment of protected and preserved areas adjacent to his home in the Schenectady, NY, area. Additionally, Schaefer was a house builder who specialized in historic renovations, unique period-style homes, and adaptive reuse. Schaefer’s Adirondack library grew into the Adirondack Research Center in the 1970s and today is a part of Union College as the Adirondack Research Library of the Kelly Adirondack Center which is located in Schaefer’s former Niskayuna home.

Provenance and Arrangement Note

Provenance:

Before Paul Schaefer’s death in 1996 he, with the assistance of his grandson, began organizing his personal papers into subject file binders for posterity. Unfortunately, Schaefer passed away before completing this project. After his death, the collection was transferred to the Adirondack Research Library (ARL) of the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks. During this time a devoted group of volunteers continued sorting the collection into subject file binders in the style that Schaefer had begun. In 2011, Union College assumed responsibility for the collections of the ARL on the basis of a long-term loan.

Arrangement:

In the time between Schaefer’s death and Union College’s assumption of responsibility for the collection, the papers were moved several times among various buildings and passed through the hands of many volunteers. In order to preserve as much extant original order possible, all of the subject files created by Schaefer and the volunteers have been preserved in their entirety. The majority of the other series, consisting of previously unprocessed material, are arranged chronologically or by topic.

The collection consists of nine series: Correspondence, Litigation and Legislation, Publications, Subject Files, Moose River Plains, Business Records and Patents, Organization Records, Sundry, and Audio Visual Materials. Correspondence is arranged chronologically and spans 1895-1996 with a run of undated letters with known decades at the end. Legislation and Litigation is separated into three subseries, each arranged chronologically: Litigation (1930-1987), Legislation (1918-1996), and Government Documents (1840-1996). Publications is separated into nine subseries: Articles, arranged chronologically (1930-1990), with the undated articles arranged alphabetically by title; News Clippings, arranged chronologically (1900-1996); Pamphlets, arranged chronologically (1859-1996) with the Couch-sa-chra-ga Association separated; Periodicals, arranged chronologically (1900-1996) with large recurring periodicals arranged alphabetically; Press Releases arranged chronologically (1930-1996); Speeches, arranged chronologically (1870-1996); Bound Publications, arranged alphabetically; Hearings, arranged chronologically; and Sundry Publications, arranged chronologically. Subject Files is arranged alphabetically. Moose River Plains is arranged into five subseries: Correspondence, arranged chronologically (1944-1956); Legislation and Litigation, arranged chronologically (1946-1956); Organizational Records, arranged alphabetically; Publications, arranged by format; and Sundry, arranged topically. Business Records and Patents is arranged into two subseries: Projects, arranged by project and Business Documents, arranged chronologically (1930-1996). Organizational Records is arranged chronologically (1910-1996) with a run of undated material at the end of which the undated Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks material has been separated. Sundry is arranged both chronologically and by format. Audio Visual Materials contains eight format-based record groups with either topical or format-based subseries: Audio Recordings; Facsimiles and Lithographs; Photographic Prints; Photographic Slides; Photographic Negatives; Photogravures; Moving Images; Oversize.

Correspondence

7.1 Cubic Feet

This series contains correspondence to and from Paul Schaefer as well as correspondence to and from third parties related to conservation and environmental activism. The series is arranged chronologically and spans from 1895-1996. The series contains letters from many notable conservation leaders and politicians including John S. Apperson Jr. (Schaefer’s mentor), Dr. Irving Langmuir, Howard Zahniser, George Marshall, Lithgow Osborne, and Nelson A. Rockefeller. Of particular interest are three letters to Paul Schaefer from Walter Heibel in 1932, 1933, and 1947. Schaefer met Heibel during the 1932 Winter Olympics. These letters portray Heibel’s entrance into nationalism, excited involvement with overseas Nazi propaganda, and his fear of indictment in the Nuremberg trials while being held in a POW camp. There is a large volume of correspondence from 1972 to 1976 from Dr. Peter E. Van de Water, chairman of the organization “Citizens to Save the Adirondack Park,” which opposed Park development by the Horizon Corporation.

Subject Files

22.5 Cubic Feet

Before his death in 1996 Paul Schaefer, with the assistance of his grandson, began organizing his personal papers into subject file binders in order to ensure that the legacy of his experience and knowledge would continue. After his passing, his grandson, along with some of Schaefer’s protégés, continued this “bindering” for a short period. This series contains the totality of the 364 subject files, arranged alphabetically. The subject files consist of roughly topically organized original and copied manuscripts, pamphlets, and photographs. Occasionally a subject file contains introductory material on the topic compiled by Schaefer or pulled from one of his publications. Many, if not a majority, of these subject files came to the processing team incomplete. Their order has been maintained completely by the processing team. All of the original titles, including archaic and irregular spellings, were kept, save for 51 files subject files which were given the prefix “Paul Schaefer” which consist of Schaefer’s more personal papers.
