Springer was a lawyer and businessman who spent most of his life in Santa Fe, New Mexico and was widely known for his leadership in resolving major land grant disputes in the southwest and his influence on New Mexico's early economic development. His name is familiar to paleontologists, however, because of his interest in crinoids that began at an early age from his collecting visits to the Burlington Limestone, which was about 30 miles south of his boyhood home of Wapello, Iowa) - http://paleobiology.si.edu/springer/paleoSpringer.html
