Talk:Robert J. Walker

message: Loan from Germany? Germany didn't strictly speaking exist until 1871. Does the article mean Prussia? TallNapoleon (talk) 19:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the Germany Wiki link to the German Confederation as it was obviously wrong.
Is that sum correct for the loan amount $250,000,00?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.66.3.241 (talk) 06:44, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

message: There was an external link added (The Colt Revolver in the American West—Robert J. Walker's Presentation Model 1851 Navy) that qualifies as a reference. Along with Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, unless someone has reasons for disqualification, I think should be used properly. Otr500 (talk) 02:00, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I need to leave the library now, but write because I was shocked at double-checking his entry using ancestry.com and seeing him as a slaveholder after 1838. I don't know when or if I'll have time to fix this article, as I intended to fix the Wheeling Suspension Bridge article this afternoon, got distracted with the Col. Robert McCormick article, and it's now dinnertime and I have other matters to attend to this week. Anyhow, this Robert J. Walker has an article in Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography which says he promoted the treaty for suppressing the African slave trade, manumitted slaves in 1838, and consistently advocated gradual emancipation. Since his mother died in Mississippi and his brother had children, I'm curious if any fought for the Confederacy (or if his sons fought for the Union). Also, Appletons says his father was a U.S. district judge and that this Walker (a financier of the highest rank) was the U.S. financial agent in Europe in 1863 and negotiated $250,000,000 in "5-20" bonds.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:44, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
