Charles Erskine Scott Wood
Charles Erskine Scott Wood or C.E.S. Wood (February 20, 1852January 22, 1944) was an American author, civil liberties advocate, artist, soldier, and attorney, and Georgist. He is best known as the author of the 1927 satirical bestseller, ''Heavenly Discourse''.
==Early life==
Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Wood graduated from West Point in 1874.〔Smith, Sherry Lynn (2002). (''Reimagining Indians: Native Americans Through Anglo Eyes, 1880–1940'' ), p. 22. Oxford University Press.〕 He served as an infantry officer and fought in the Nez Perce War in 1877. He was present at the surrender of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. It was Wood who transcribed, and perhaps embellished, Chief Joseph's famous speech, which ended with: "My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."〔Beito, David T., & Beito, Linda Royster (2000). ("Gold Democrats and the Decline of Classical Liberalism, 1896–1900" ). ''The Independent Review'' (IV), 555–575.〕 The two men became close friends.
He raised his family in Portland at a house on King's Hill near the northeast corner of today's Vista Bridge. The site is now occupied by the Portland Garden Club in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. John Reed grew up a few blocks away and was greatly influenced by Wood.
