notes: label: Description
content: John Alden Grimes (1887-1968) was trained at the University of Minnesota as a mining engineer, worked for a time as a geologist and metallurgist, and then began a career as a valuation engineer for what was then called the Bureau of Internal revenue. There he probably met engineer William Horace Craigue (b. 1870), another engineer and the coauthor of this book on compound interest. They were specifically inspired by the need of the Bureau of Internal Revenue to estimatethe value of metal mines for tax purposes, but did the writing outside of normal office hours. Several passages in the first two chapters of the book are underlined.
