Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Making Woodrow Wilson President William Frank McCombs was born at Hamburg, Ashley County, Arkansas, December 26, 1876. His father, William Faulkner McCombs, was a native of Kentucky. His mother was Mrs. Frances Pugh McCombs, a native of Alabama. There were three sisters, Corinne, Ethel and Addie, and two brothers, Robert and Ashton. While the father tilled a 17,000 acre rice plantation, young McCombs learned his A B C´s at his mother´s knee and from a private tutor. As a mere child he suffered a fracture of the hip through a fall. As a result of this accident, he was permanently lame. His preliminary training for college was obtained in the Webb Preparatory School at Belle Buckle, Tennessee. He entered Princeton University in 1894, graduating with the class of ´98. Mr. McCombs was of medium height, while leaning upon his ever present cane. He shot up to six feet when provoked. In youth his hair was auburn. It was tinged with gray when he attained the age of two score years. The hair was brushed back from a high forehead. His eyes were gray, the nose was long, the nostrils frequently dilated. The mouth was firm; the lips thin; the jaw square; the ears small; the face clean cut and of an intellectual type.
