Our FRiend Diogeneslamp sometimes assures us the world is owned by nefarious but usually unnamed "northeastern power brokers."
Here, for once, we see clarified, it's NOT Fernando Wood who owns the World, but rather it's chief editor, one Manton Marble.
My grandfather was a young teenager during the Civil War living a few miles up the Potomac not far from Shepherdstown. He wrote an essay describing his family and personal experiences. He said the area was repeatedly occupied by one side than the other. One time a Union camp was force to withdraw in a hurry and left a lot of equipment, tents and stuff. Later a Union major came to the house and asked my great grandfather if he knew anything about the equipment. Granddad was summoned and asked about it. Granddad said he had it in the barn, and was told to give it back. So he led the major with a squad soldiers with a wagon to the barn. Grandad also said if he was out on the farm near the river and head a report, he would run and get behind a tree because teenage boys would shoot at each other across the river.
