When Henry Ford was accumulating real estate in Sudbury in
conjunction with his Wayside Inn project, he bought a piece of
land on Nobscott next to ours. My father wrote him, saying that
he could have our acreage for two Lincolns and a Ford. Henry never
replied and probably never saw the letter. His agents had
no interest in any land acquisition that did not involve a sub-
stantial commission for themselves; consequently nothing ever came
of the offer. Then, a few years later, the Boy Scouts estab-lished a
camp on Nobscott. As some of their land abutted ours, we decided
to present them with the controversial parcel and
thus solve the problem once and for all. |
