About Robert Shields
Robert William Shields was an American minister and high school English teacher best known for writing a diary of 37.5 million words, which chronicled every five minutes of his life from 1972 until a stroke disabled him in 1997. Shields's diary, which filled 91 boxes, was longer than those kept by the journalist Edward Robb Ellis and the poet Arthur Crew Inman, and 30 times longer than that of Samuel Pepys.
