	County of Foix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The independent counts of Foix, with their castle overlooking the town of Foix, now in southernmost France, governed their county of Foix, which corresponded roughly to the eastern part of the modern département of Ariège (the western part being Couserans).
		However, it should be noted that in 1290 the counts of Foix acquired Béarn, which became the center of their domain, and from that time on the counts of Foix rarely resided in the county of Foix, preferring the richer and more verdant Béarn.
		During the Middle Ages, the county of Foix was an independent fief of the kingdom of France and consisted of an agglomeration of small holdings ruled by lords, who, though subordinate to the counts of Foix, had some voice in the government of the county.

		Gaston as having a "wide ranging curiosity along with energy and intellect to pursue it." He was a speaker with a commanding presence, a gifted singer, and a writer of some merit.
		In the autumn of 1889, Gaston brought together a small group of friends to form the Des Moines Investigating Club-- a club to "investigate" the social and economic condition of the United States by keeping its members informed on the latest thoughts on the subject.
		Gaston and friends took this concept, mixed it with some of the Populist ideas of the time, added his essay on "true cooperative individualism," threw in some good old common sense about the nature of humankind and came up with a constitution for the formation of a community.
