Thomas H. Purvis · October 12, 2006

The original Natchez Trace may have had its points of origin at Fort Adams on the Mississippi River near Woodville when the commander-in-chief of the United States Army, General James Wilkinson, for whom the county was named, completed a treaty with the Choctaw Indians to open a thoroughfare from Fort Adams northeast in order that supplies and soldiers could be safely moved to the fort located there. It was at Fort Adams that the scene of "The Man Without a Country", by Edward Everett Hale was located

=====================================================================

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Vallandigham

Clement Laird Vallandigham (same as Vanlandingham)

Vallandigham's assertion that 'he did not want to belong to the United States' prompted Edward Everett Hale to write The Man Without a Country. This short story, which appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1863, was widely republished, and did much to stimulate patriotism.

Robert Elkington Wood (June 13, 1879 - November 6, 1969) was an American soldier and businessman best known for his leadership of Sears, Roebuck and Company

Robert E. Wood

In 1954 Wood established the right-wing Manion Forum. During the 1950s Wood was a strong supporter of Joseph McCarthy and his anti-Communist campaign. Robert Wood died in 1969.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.americafirstcommittee.org/history.php

Founded September 4, 1940; Revived June 8, 1980

Who founded America First?

The founders of the America First Committee were chiefly, General Robert E. Wood, then chairman of the Board of Sears Roebuck & Co., and R. Douglas Stewart Jr., Son of the Vice President of the Quaker Oats Co.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.laobserved.com/archive/002222.html

"For America," a spin-off of the America First Committee, was formed in 1954, and run by some of the leading WW II "isolationists." One of the organization's leading lights was Colonel Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune. The chairman of For America was Clarence Manion, formerly dean of law at Notre Dame University. Robert Wood, then head of Sears, Roebuck, was a blustering propagandist for the bund. The stated aim of For America was the support of political candidates sympathetic to the Nazi cause.

At least current history has a portion of the geneology correct.

Just need to add in General Robert E. Wood.

Now!

Anyone for discussion of Standard Oil (Humble)?

I do believe that there is some "common ground"!
