Peter Fireman played a part in the history of the transformation of
value into prices as he won the "Prize Essay Competition" (Howard and King).
During the last two years I devoted a lot of time gathering biographical
details about his eventful very long life. He was born in Russia in
1863, was a leader of the Jewish agrarian communistic colony called New
Odessa (Oregon), then got a Phd in chemistry in Switzerland where he
wrote in academic journal about the theory of value and married
Ernestine Weitz (among the first women to hold a scientific PhD
worldwide) - He took some important Us patents in chemistry, went back
in Russia after 1917.. etc.. and died in 1962 (he was 99 years old).
Eventually I could have probably save a lot of time if I had an access to :

I guess it is probably no more than a few pages and I will be very
thankful if somebody could check in a library and send me copies
