Henry Regnery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Regnery (1912 - 1996) was an American publisher.

Regnery was born in a family of textile makers. He obtained a degree in mechanical engineering from MIT (1934), and studied at the University of Bonn and Harvard University. He became a member of the America First Committee, of which his father was an executive director.

Regnery did not follow his father in the textile industry, and tried his hand in publishing, when he financed the creation of Human Events in 1944. His publishing company would go on to publish two conservative classics, William F. Buckley's God and Man at Yale (1951) and Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind (1953).
