A polo field meeting with Eisenhower that rerouted his power
In this episode we follow Marcellus Hartley Dodge Sr.’s life from inheritance and industry to quiet losses and conservation fights. We trace his family ties, wartime role, and a pivotal polo-field meeting that set in motion a struggle over a vast New Jersey wetland-how did one private moment shape public power?
Person: Marcellus Hartley Dodge Sr.
Date: February 28, 1881 (birth); 1959 (Port Authority plan)
Location: Hartley Farms, Morris County, New Jersey
Event: Secret wartime meetings with Dwight D. Eisenhower on the polo field
Topic: Inheritance, Remington Arms leadership, land preservation vs. airport plans
- Born into the Hartley and Dodge dynasties, he inherited $60 million and a seat at Remington Arms at twenty-one.
