About the Author
With degrees from Princeton University and the University of California at Berkeley, New Jersey native Harry R. Roegner has lived in France, Belgium and Germany plus traveled extensively in Asia, Africa and Latin America in his vocation as an international businessman and in his avocation as an avid butterfly enthusiast. Roegner’s ancestors were some of the first Dutch settlers to move into Lenape Indian territory across the Hudson River from Manhattan in the 1680s. He has amassed one of the major private collections in the country, with each specimen collected personally. Mr. Roegner gives butterfly lectures to numerous nature and academic groups in the United States and promotes programs to study and protect butterflies and their habitats.
In 1999, Mr. Roegner started to collect notes made during his 40 plus years of collecting which led to the writing of Butterfly Trails. In addition to being a leading authority on the international automotive business and the butterfly, Mr. Roegner, who speaks five languages, was an advisor from 1984 to 1992 to the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative on international trade policy.
