Cramer (born 1955) is the Curator of Collections at the Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods Library, managing the collections of the Walden Woods Project, the Thoreau Society, and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society.[1] He has edited many books about the works of such American literary figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Robert Frost.[2]
