TL;DR: Karpinski as mentioned in this paper was best known for his publications on the history of mathematics, and secondarily as a historian of cartography, and a survey of his life includes an account of his contributions to the teaching of mathematics and of his avocational interests as a collector, chess player, and gadfly attacking what he saw as poor thinking and abuses of power in both the universities and in the public domain.
