Scope and Content Note
The papers of General Robert E. Wood document a long and successful
career in the U.S. Army and the business community. Born in Kansas City,
Missouri, in 1879, Wood graduated from West Point in 1900. He served with
the Third Cavalry during the Phillippine Insurrection and returned to
West Point as an instructor in 1903. In 1905 he was assigned to the Panama
Canal and served under General Goethals in the building of the canal. Wood
rose rapidly, reaching the position of chief quartermaster in 1912, having
the responsibility of hiring thousands of workmen, erecting numerous buildings,
and distributing huge quantities of supplies. He later attributed his success
on the canal to the fact that he did not succumb to yellow fever, while many
of his comrades became ill or requested reassignment. In 1915, with the canal
built, Wood retired with the rank of Major and entered the business world.
In the years between 1915 and W. W. I Wood was with the DuPont Corpora-
tion and the General Asphalt Corporation. When the United States entered
the War in 1917, Wood returned to active duty and sailed to France with the
advance contigent of the Rainbow Division. After serving there for five
months he was recalled to the United States and made Acting Quartermaster
General. In this capacity he was responsible for buying and distributing
food clothing, and materiel for 4 million soldiers.
The Wood Papers contain very little material on the early years of his
career. His service during World War I and his student days at the U. S.
Military Academy are not documented here. The papers do, however, reflect
his interest in military affairs and policy, as well as his interest in
and loyalty to the Military Academy. He was a long time member of the
Association of Graduates and maintained an active correspondence with other
members of the Class of 1900.
Other than some printed memorabilia and some letters written in 1915
commending his work, there are no materials from the period when General Wood
was actually in Panama. The papers do reflect his longstanding interest in
the canal and its workers. He was active in the efforts of retired employees
of the Panama Canal and Panama Railroad Company to obtain improved retirement
benefits, and wrote many letters to members of Congress on their behalf from
the mid-1930's to the mid-1950's. In the late 1950's and early 1960's he
became an outspoken advocate of continued United States ownership and
control of the canal.
After the First World War Wood resigned from the army with the rank of
Brigadier General and took a position with Montgomery Ward and Company as Vice-
President of Merchandising. Wood became firmly convinced that the future for
mail order businesses lay in developing a chain of retail stores. Conflict
over this issue led to Wood's resignation from Montgomery Ward in 1924. The
Montgomery Ward files in the Papers contain speeches and memoranda from
1919-1924 addressed to other Ward's executives and the sales merchandising
force, in which Wood analyzes the Company's policies and profits.
Soon after leaving Montgomery Ward, Wood joined Sears, Roebuck and Company
as Vice-President of Factories and Retail. In that capacity he led Sears in
the new venture of selling through retail stores. He continued increasing
the number of retail stores after he became President of the Company in 1928.
After guiding Sears through the Depression, Wood stepped up to be Chairman
of the Board in 1939, a position he held until 1954. He continued as a
Director of the Company until 1968. The portion of the papers concerning
Sears is not large, and consists mostly of memoranda and speeches
directed to Sears' managers and executives. Besides revealing sales figures
and profits, the files provide some insight into how Sears weathered the
Depression, and grew to be the largest retailer in the country. These
files also reflect the expansion of Sears into Latin America, the beginnings
of the Allstate Insurance Company, and the expansion and administration of
the Sears' Profit Sharing Plan.
General Wood's papers reflect not only his business career, but also
his interest in the formation of social, economic, and foreign policy from
1933 to the end of his life in 1969. During this period Wood corresponded
with a number of well known people on a wide variety of issues.
Wood supported the New Deal in the early 1930's and voted for Roosevelt
in 1932 and 1936. He supported an inflationary monetary policy in the early
1930's and became involved with the Committee for the Nation and its efforts
to influence monetary policy. His correspondence with Roosevelt and other
administration officials reveals his thinking on the monetary issue and
other issues of that time. Although Wood became disenchanted with the
Roosevelt administration by the late 1930's, he did serve as a governmental
advisor in three different areas in 1939. The collection reflects his ser-
vices on The President's Committee on Civil Service Improvement; as an
-unpaid advisor to Harry Hopkins in the Commerce Department; and as a
member of the War Resources Board.
As the United States moved closer to involvement in World War II, Wood
joined forces with other Americans who opposed U. S. Intervention in the
war. He corresponded with Herbert Hoover, Joseph P. Kennedy, Charles A.
Lindbergh, Truman Smith, Burton K. Wheeler, and other prominent Americans
opposed to U. S. intervention. He opposed Lend-Lease legislation and became
chairman of the American First Committee. The American First Committee files
(1940-1941) in his papers include correspondence, bulletins, press releases,
and publicity materials used in the campaign to keep America out of the war.
With the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war, Wood dis-
banded the America First Committee and volunteered his services to the govern-
ment. He served as advisor to the Army Ordnance Department and the papers
contain correspondence, reports, and memoranda on how supply systems could
be improved. He was also appointed as an advisor to the Air Corps by
General H. H. (Hap) Arnold and made several trips to the Pacific and European
theatres to analyze and correct supply problems. These trips are documented
in the papers by correspondence, reports, memoranda, diaries, and printed
materials.
During the 1940's Wood became involved in Republican Party politics.
He strongly supported Gen. MacArthur for the presidential nomination in 1944
and 1948, and was a Taft supporter in 1952. There is substantial correspondence
with MacArthur and others supporting MacArthur for the presidency, and with
many other well known Republican politicians. The papers also document
Wood's activities with such conservative organizations as American Action
(1946-1948), For America (1954-1958), Americans for Constitutional Action
(1958-1961), and the National Military-Industrial Conference (1957-1962).
The papers also document Wood's strong support of Senator Joseph McCarthy
in the 1950's.
Wood served as a task force member with the two Hoover Commissions on
the Reorganization of the Executive Branch. He served on the First Hoover
Commission as a member of the task force on National Security and was
chairman of the task force on Federal Surplus Property in the Second Commission.
He also contributed his extensive knowledge of merchandising and distribution
while participating in a 1955 survey of Army Post Exchanges. These services
to the government are documents with correspondence, reports, and printed
material.
General Wood's extensive interest and participation in service and
cultural organizations are also reflected in his papers. He served as Presi-
dent of the Chicago Boys' Clubs of American from 1949 to 1959. He also
supported the work of the Boy Scouts, 4-H Clubs, and served on the board
of the Cradle Society, a private adoption agency.
General Wood corresponded with a host of well known public figures
including: H. H. Arnold, Harry Elmer Barnes, William Benton, James F. Byrnes,
W. J. Campbell, William L. Clayton, Samuel Crowther, Lawrence Dennis,
Everett M. Dirksen, Dwight D. Eisenhower, James A. Farley, John T. Flynn,
W. H. Frank, Merwin K. Hart, Herbert Hoover, George M. Humphrey, H. L. Hunt,
Louis A. Johnson, Joseph P. Kennedy, Leon Keyserling, Phillip F. LaFollette,
Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., Alfred M. Landon, Walter Lichtenstein, Charles A.
Lindbergh, Douglas MacArthur, Joseph R. McCarthy, Robert R. McCormick,
Henry J. Morgenthau, Karl E. Mundt, Donald M. Nelson, Henry M. Regnery,
Henry J. Reilly, Daniel C. Roper, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Julius Rosenwald,
Dr. Edward A. Rumely, Truman Smith, George Sokolsky, R. Douglas Stuart, Jr.,
Robert A. Taft, Freda Utley, Arthur H. Vandenberg, Henry A. Wallace, Sidney
J. Weinberg, and Burton K. Wheeler.
The Wood papers provide a valuable supplement to several other collections
previously opened for research at the Hoover Library. These include the
Herbert Hoover Post-Presidential Papers, the files of the First and Second
Hoover Commissions, and the papers of Paul Grady, Verne Marshall, Hanford
MacNider, Bradley D. Nash, Neil MacNeil, Gerald P. Nye, Admiral John F.
Shafroth, Lewis Stone Sorley, Charles Callan Tansill, Walter Trohan,
and William Hallam Tuck.
The Wood Papers contain approximately 34,200 items occupying 24 feet
of shelf space. An extensive name and subject card index has been compiled
for this collection arid is available upon request.
