Linda,
64 is from Treason in America by Chaitkan.
page 259 --A particularly chilling example of the failure of post-Lincoln
Americans to appreciate the nature of this Rebellion is the case of Edward
House. His father Thomas House was a British merchant who came to the Texas
province of Mexico in the 1830s. The elder House did not stick by Sam Houston
when Houston fought against Secession; Thomas House made a fortune as a
British national, carrying arms from Britain through the Union blockade to
Texas. After the Rebellion was defeated, Thomas House returned to England and
educated his son Edward at Bath. Years later, the young man returned to
America to tend his father's cotton plantations; he despised the United States
as an enemy land, and retained a fierce loyalty to Great Britain. This was
"Colonel" House, who directed the foreign policy and much of the domestic
affairs of the United States during the administration of President Woodrow
Wilson . . . the years of the World War and the League of Nations. President
Wilson was not unsympathetic to House's viewpoint—his own father had been a
Confederate Army chaplain and slaveowner.---
p. 525
--• President Wilson's confidential adviser Col. Edward House, whose British
father had run guns into Texas for the Southern Rebellion, and had taken young
Edward back to England for a thoroughly anti American education. House later
returned to Texas and became the Texas political boss, in alliance with the
Harrimans;--
65 is Phillip Dru, the book written by House.
House, a mysterious figure, and so ubiquitous to our history, the dearth of
material on him is telling. What is correct, I do not know. Everthing that I
have checked from Chaitkan seems to be correct, but he does not give a source.
Chaitkan does have a 13 page bibliography and as you know he goes deep into
paper collection and other external research resouces.
Did you catch the bit about House in the Depression/FDR post?
Daniels definitley has bias.
