<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">George W. Bush’s middle name comes from a large Catholic family resident in Maryland from the early nineteenth century. The family of George E. <b>Walker</b> (1797–1864) was poor, but not so poor that it didn’t have a<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> couple of slaves on its 321-acre farm in Cecil County, Maryland, </span>according to an 1830 census — a female between the ages of ten and twenty-four, and a male between the ages of twenty-four and thirty-six.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> After they fell on hard times and lost their land, the Walkers traveled by wagon to southern Illinois, where they homesteaded a few miles from Bloomington.</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The youngest of their eight sons, David Davis Walker (1840–1918), moved to St. Louis where he made his fortune as a dry goods wholesaler. In the Midwest, David Walker maintained the Southern attitude about race, though with a contemporary overlay of social Darwinism. He was a believer in eugenics and the “unwritten law” of lynching. In a letter to the editor of the St. Louis Republic published in 1914, David Walker described Negroes as a greater menace than prostitution and “all the other evils combined.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">David Walker’s son George Herbert Walker, born in St. Louis in 1875, was raised like a Midwestern prince. Bert Walker, as he was known, had both a nurse and his own valet. In the summer, the family would travel by private train car to the coast of Maine. The valet went with Bert to Stonyhurst, the Jesuit boarding school in England, where his mother sent him, out of concern that Catholic education in St. Louis was too dominated by ill-bred German immigrants.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In England, Bert Walker developed into a physically powerful young man, excelling at<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> boxing, polo, and golf. </span>He would later win the amateur title as Missouri heavyweight champion in the days when boxers wore no gloves. Much of his overflowing aggression was directed at his father. Rather than join the family business or the priest- hood as his parents hoped, he returned to St. Louis to make his own fortune. Though he stayed in the same city, he broke with his parents in every other way, rejecting his father’s Republican politics and his Catholic faith. This rupture came when he decided to marry a girl from a higher-class Presbyterian family, a society beauty named Lucretia “Loulie” Wear (1874–1961). Bert’s parents told him he would be disinherited and boycotted the wedding. Though father and son were later partners in investments, including the house in Kennebunkport, the breach between them was never fully mended. Years later, Bert sued to have his father declared mentally unfit when David Walker really did attempt to disinherit his son by giving all his money to the Catholic Church. The two were battling in court when David Walker died in Kennebunkport in 1918.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">When he was still in his early twenties, Bert Walker set up G. H. Walker and Company, one of the first investment banking firms in the Midwest. </span>He flourished as a speculator, losing several fortunes, but winning several more, and <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">helping to finance the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904.</span> Bert was rowdy, profane, and generally obnoxious. Even an approved family history describes him as “coarse.” At a friend’s boisterous birthday party, he grabbed a bass drum from the orchestra and led a drunken parade through the St. Louis Club. Rather than apologize to the board, he resigned to form the Racquet Club, whose motto was “Youth Will Be Served.” Bert liked to plaster his name around — on his companies, his houses, and his children. As president of the U.S. Golfing Association, he founded an Anglo-American tournament known, of course, as the Walker Cup.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In the family, Bert Walker is described as a bully and a boor, or worse — a violent tyrant who pummeled his sons in a boxing ring set up in his house in hopes of toughening them into professional athletes.</span> When his son Lou embarrassed him by showing up tipsy on the tennis court after lunch one day in Maine, his father told him he was too stupid for college and sent him to work the next morning in a steel mill in Bradford, Pennsylvania. “I was always scared as hell of him,” Lou said. One of George Herbert Walker’s grandchildren, Elsie Walker Kilbourne, was quoted in a newspaper story describing the conflict between father and sons even more bluntly. Bert Walker, she said, was a “tough old bastard.” As she put it, ‘‘there really wasn’t a lot of love on the part of the boys for their father.” Bert Walker’s relationships with his daughters were more pleasant, though he <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">refused to send them to college because he didn’t believe in educating women</span>.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">As the leading investment banker in the Midwest, Bert Walker got to know the Harriman family. The young Harriman brothers, Averell and Roland, had inherited their father’s railroad fortune after graduating from Yale, and in 1919 found themselves needing an experienced man to head their Wall Street firm. Bert Walker readily agreed to relocate east and take charge of the Harriman enterprises.</span> Unlike the Smith family in Meet Me in St. Louis, who can’t bear to abandon their friendly hometown, the Walkers couldn’t wait to move to New York City. After arriving in 1920, they lived far more luxuriously than they had in St. Louis, in a mansion on Madison Avenue, and later in a grand apartment at One Sutton Place. The Walker weekend home on the north shore of Long Island was a Gatsby palace with marble floors, a swimming pool, and a lawn sloping down to the sound. Bert Walker appeared at dinner in white tie, to be served by liveried butlers. He had another grand estate in Santa Barbara, California.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">With the money they made financing Soviet oil drilling in the Caucasus, Bert Walker and Averell Harriman bought a stable of racing horses. But after a time, they couldn’t agree about how to handle their best horse, Chance Play.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;Walker, who loved to gamble, wanted to race him as often as possible. Harriman wanted to hold out for a few important races and a long career of stud fees. So they divvied up the horses and instead bought a 150-foot yacht together. Bert Walker’s success on Wall Street also supported a small army of Negro servants at the ten-thousand-acre hunting lodge he bought in South Carolina and named Duncannon. The current owners have preserved the bullet holes left in the dining room ceiling when Bert fired at a wasp that stung him.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Great Depression spelled the end of Bert Walker’s career at Harriman; he wanted to take on levels of risk that the brothers con- sidered dangerous at a time when the firm was operating in the red. He was pushed out at the time of the merger that his son-in-law Prescott Bush helped to engineer with the firm of Brown Brothers. But Bert Walker had liquidated his portfolio near the top, and the Walkers were untouched by the stock-market crash. In the 1930s, he and his wife each had their own chauffeured Rolls-Royce. “Gampy” Walker, as his grandchildren called him, gave them $500 each for their birthdays — a sum so enormous that it directly threatened Prescott’s ethos of an honest day’s work for a day’s pay.</font>
