[CTRL] Colonel House

[Linda Minor]

 -Caveat Lector-

Kris,
I have just finished reading Scarlet and the Beast, Vol. 3, chapter 4, which
you recently posted.  I am intrigued by the next to last paragraph thereof
which states:

"Apart from the profits to be made from banking during the war, fortunes
were made in many other ways.  One way to accumulate wealth was to run the
Union blockade against the Confederacy.  British Freemason Thomas W. House,
whose parents were Jewish, and whose father was an agent for the Rothschild
bank in England, (63) made his fortune smuggling arms by ship from Britain,
through the Union blockade, to Texas.  After the war, House returned to
England and gave his son, Edward Mandell House (1858-1938), an
anti-American, pro-Marxist education at Bath.  While in England, Edward
House joined English Freemasonry.  Years later Edward House returned to
Texas to tend his father's cotton plantations.  There he received the 33rd
degree.  Althrough born in America, and returning later in life to reap the
benefits of America's fertile land, "Colonel" house (a title he gave
himself) despised the United States as an enemy land, and retained a fierce
loyalty to Great Britain. (64)"

=========

All accounts I've read indicated Edward House was taken to Bath, England
during the Civil War, but only remained there about 6 months, then returned
to Texas for awhile.  He was sent to boarding school in Virginia.  Instead
of being Jewish, his family was Dutch.

Could you look up these footnotes and let me know what the author cited as
his source?

Thanks,
Linda
