MajorWalter Reed, M.D., U.S. Army, (September 13, 1851– November 22, 1902) was a U.S. Army physician who in 1901 led the team that postulated and confirmed the theory that yellow fever is transmitted by a particular mosquito species, rather than by direct contact. This insight gave impetus to the new fields of epidemiology and biomedicine, and most immediately allowed the resumption and completion of work on the Panama Canal (1904–1914) by the United States. Reed followed work started by Carlos Finlay and directed by George Miller Sternberg ("first U.S. bacteriologist").
Early and Family Life
Walter Reed was born in Gloucester County, Virginia, to Lemuel Sutton Reed (a traveling Methodist minister) and his first wife, Pharaba White. During his youth, the family resided at Murfreesboro, North Carolina with his mother's family during his father's preaching tours. Two of his elder brothers later achieved distinction: J.C. became a minister in Virginia like their father, and Christopher a judge in Wichita, Kansas and later St. Louis, Missouri, Their childhood home is included in the Murfreesboro Historic District.
Reed made his first-class debut for Sussex against Surrey in 1860. He made five further first-class appearances for the county that season, the last of which came against the Marylebone Cricket Club. In his six first-class appearances, he scored a total of 38 runs at an average of 4.22, with a high score of 10 not out. With the ball, he took 2 wickets at a bowling average of 51.50, with best figures of 1/8.
He died at Storrington, Sussex on 17 March 1880. His brother, Albert, also played first-class cricket for Sussex.
The Horse Soldiers is a 1959 drama film set in Mississippi during the American Civil War. Loosely based on Harold Sinclair's 1956 novel by the same name, it was directed by John Ford and starred John Wayne, William Holden and Constance Towers. Althea Gibson, US tennis champion, had a minor role and insisted that her dialogue be rewritten, as she found its dialect demeaning. John Lee Mahin and Martin Rackin produced the movie and wrote its screenplay.
Background
The film was loosely based on Harold Sinclair's 1956 novel of the same name, which in turn was based on the historic 17-day Grierson's Raid and Battle of Newton's Station in Mississippi during the Civil War.
Walter Reed (born Walter Reed Smith, February 10, 1916 – August 20, 2001) was an American stage, film and television actor. He was born in Fort Ward, Washington. Following a stint as a Broadway actor, Reed broke into films in 1941. He appeared in several features for RKO Radio Pictures, including the last two Mexican Spitfire comedies (in which Reed replaced Buddy Rogers as the Spitfire's husband). Perhaps his most memorable role was as the spineless wagon-driver husband of Gail Russell in the western Seven Men from Now. Reed also appeared in the very first Superman theatrical feature film Superman and the Mole Men in 1951.
In 1951 Reed made two serials for Republic Pictures; Reed strongly resembled former Republic leading man Ralph Byrd, enabling Republic to insert old action scenes of Byrd into the new Reed footage. Republic wanted to sign Reed for additional serials but Reed declined, preferring not to be typed as a serial star.
After appearing in 90 films and numerous television programs, such as John Payne's The Restless Gun, Reed changed careers and became a real- estate investor and broker in Santa Cruz, California in the late 1960s.
He was born in Saint-Clément, Quebec, the son of William Reed and Vitaline Langevin, and was educated in Beauharnois. In 1890, he married Léa Champagne. Reed served on the city council for Maisonneuve from 1901 to 1905 and was mayor from 1905 to 1907. He lived in L'Assomption from 1910 to 1935. He was defeated when he ran for reelection to the Quebec assembly in 1935 and 1936. He died in Montreal at the age of 75 and was buried in L'Assomption.
