Mel Tappan
Mel Tappan (1933 – 1980, born Melrose H. Tappan III) was the editor of the newsletter ''Personal Survival ("P.S.") Letter'' and the books ''Survival Guns'' and ''Tappan on Survival''. Tappan was an influential leader of the Survivalist movement〔()〕 who advocated relocation to survival retreats in lightly populated regions. ==Emergence as survivalist expert== After attending Stanford University, Tappan first worked as a banker in Texas. Tappan developed an ever-growing expertise in firearms while living in Los Angeles. He contacted Don Stephens after reading the "Personal Preparedness" columns by Stephens in ''Inflation Survival Letter''. Tappan was invited to present a lecture as part of Stephens' "Seminars On Survival" (SOS) dinner series, giving him greater public presence and recognition. In the same time period, he collaborated with Roy Masters on writing and editing the book ''How to Conquer Negative Emotions'' (1975). He was also the editor of the 1977 book ''A Guide to Handmade Knives and The Official Directory of the Knifemakers Guild''. He then wrote a monthly column on survival topics titled "Survival Notes" for ''Guns & Ammo'' magazine. Shortly before his death, he also wrote a few monthly columns as the Survival Editor for ''Soldier of Fortune'' magazine. Through these publications and his 1977 book ''Survival Guns'' – which as of 2010 is still in print after more than 32 years – he became an influential spokesman of the "armed-defense" wing of the Survivalist movement. The back cover of ''Survival Guns'' quotes Laura Cunningham of ''The New York Times'' as describing Tappan as "The Survivalist voice of reason."
