Robert McCormick (explorer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robert McCormick ( 22 July 1800 – 25 October 1890) was a British Royal Navy surgeon, explorer and naturalist. McCormick shot the type specimen on January 12 1841, on Possession Island, Victoria Land, Antarctica. On the latter voyage most of the naturalist's duties were performed by Joseph Dalton Hooker, with McCormick concentrating on geology and bird collecting. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Robert_McCormick_(explorer)

American National Business Hall of Fame, ANBHF Cyrus McCormick This delay was due in part to McCormick's desire to perfect his machine further and to the fact that, in 1835, Robert McCormick gave his son a 400-acre farm, confronting Cyrus with the necessity of working to make that farm profitable. McCormick held his own in the competition as the rivalries successfully moved from the mower to the self rake reaper to the harvester and finally to the harvester-binder. Cyrus McCormick was born on February 15, 1809 on a farm in the Valley of Virginia, 18 miles away from the little town of Lexington. www.anbhf.org /laureates/mccormick.html

The McCormick Reaper Robert Hall McCormick (seen left) was born on the family estate of Walnut Grove on June 8, 1780. Who invented the mechanical reaper is still a point of contention between members of the McCormick family descending from the family of Robert Hall McCormick of Walnut Grove in Rockbridge, Virginia. Robert and Polly, as Mary Ann was known to friends and family, raised their eight children on the farm there and the kids grew up helping in the shop and the mill. www.astro.virginia.edu /research/observatories/26inch/history/reaper.html

Robert E. McCormick, Senior Fellow Bobby McCormick's earliest memories as a child are being raised in a property rights oriented household by an outdoorsy, farming, lumber/logging family; he remembers always thinking about "who owns what." McCormick views the environment as an asset and environmental failures as the result of ambiguous environmental ownership. Currently, McCormick is an economics professor at Clemson and the BB&T scholar in the John E. Walker Department of Economics. McCormick resides in Clemson with his wife Emily, who is an avid runner, turning into a master cycler. www.perc.org /aboutperc/bobbym_bio.php

Robert R. McCormick Museum Robert Rutherford McCormick took over the second floor central room as his bedroom, and his wife Amy used the series of room on the east end of the second floor as her bedroom suite.

McCormick felt that these men had a profound impact on the development of the United States and the freedoms he held most dear to his heart: freedom of speech and freedom of the press. www.rrmtf.org /cantigny/NewSite/mccormickmansionarchitecturalhistory.htm

Robert R. McCormick McCormick gained his title of Colonel from the May 1918 battle of Cantigny, during WWI, in which --- rumors to the contrary --- he proved himself to be a resourceful and brave commander. With all his love of military, uniforms, pageantry and the like, McCormick worked to create the singular isolationism of the middle west which helped to sink the League of Nations; later, he fought bitterly to keep us out of WWII: he disliked the politics of Roosevelt, even though he had been a classmate at Groton. We picked this one up prepared to dislike McCormick but when we put it down we ended up being a bit fond of the old bastard. www.ralphmag.org /mccormickI.html

Kapitalismo: Robert R. McCormick: The Anti-Establishment Conservative McCormick was a businessman from a wealthy family who dreamed and worked larger than life, and without him there would not have been a Chicago Tribune...or the titanic Tribune Company. The life and times of McCormick is the type of story that is not heard enough of, especially when it comes to the history of America's Great Conservatives. In fact, McCormick had this to say in a Tribune editorial about substituting religion for Darwin a la the famous 'Monkey Trial' of 1925: "We'll not without a fight have the public school system of the Untied States supporting Mr. www.kapitalismo.com /archives/2005/03/robert_r_mccorm_1.php

THE COLONEL The McCormick who emerges from Smith's book is also a brilliant businessman, a passionate lover of Chicago, an important figure in international politics (despite his isolationist views), and a protector of the First Amendment who deserves a place in any history of freedom of expression in this country. That is the simplest characterization of McCormick (1880-1955) and the one that most people familiar with the infamous publisher may have. McCormick was among the last of the great newspaper barons. www.lubbockonline.com /news/073197/colonel.htm

Amazon.ca: Books: The Colonel: The Life and Legend of Robert R. McCormick, 1880-1955 Thoroughly using his unlimited access to all of Robert McCormick's personal and corporate papers, Smith portrays a man of eccentric genius and stunning contradictions, who was at once an ardent patriot and a "prototype reactionary," a visionary and an anachronism, a soldier who revered martial virtue while despising martial force. Robert R. McCormick, longtime owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune during the first half of this century, makes today's media barons seem bland. If there is a flaw in the book, it is in Smith's failure to adequately explain how the view of McCormick as a hidebound reactionary came to overshadow many aspects of his life, such as his early career as a progressive in local politics, or his legal campaigns in support of the First Amendment. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0395533791
