Alexander Legge (1866–1933) was a prominent American business executive, serving as president of International Harvester from 1922-1933. He performed public service during World War I on the War Industries Board and at the Versailles Peace Conference, and again during the Great Depression on the Federal Farm Board. ==Early life== He was born January 13, 1866 in Dane City, Wisconsin to Alexander and Christine (Fraser) Legge. His parents and older sister Christina had emigrated to Wisconsin from Scotland in 1857. Legge and his family moved to Colfax County, Nebraska in 1876 where his father went into the cattle business. Legge worked with his father in farming and later tried his hand as a cowboy in Wyoming. Because of a lung condition he was forced to find a job that would allow him to be outdoors, but wouldn't expose him to dust or hazardously cold temperatures.〔Crissey, Forest, ''Alexander Legge'' 1866-1933, Privately printed at Chicago, Illinois in 1936 by the Alexander Legge Memorial Committee〕
