NOTES
Greenbrier scene and Marsh’s offer: Described to the author by George Brown. Confirmed by Lady Bird Johnson, who was not on the blanket, but who was at the Greenbrier that week and was present at discussions of Marsh’s offer, of which she says: “It certainly would have done a lot for our financial security.” She recalls that “Charles was saying that a great future lay ahead of him (Lyndon) and he ought not to have to worry about money, and this would free him from such cares.” Also confirmed by two other members of the group at the Greenbrier, Sam Houston Johnson and by Marsh’s private secretary, Mary Louise Glass Young. Mrs. Young says Marsh’s offer was worth not three-quarters of a million but a million dollars, and that during the discussions that week of Marsh’s offer, people would say to Johnson, attempting to persuade him to accept it: “Lyndon, it’s a million dollars!” “Burn this”: For example, on Johnson to Luther E. Jones, Dec. 6, 1931, Jones Papers. “He loses”: Malone, Jefferson and His Time, Vol. I, p. xi.
Buying votes in San Antonio: See p. 277. Money in Johnson’s own campaigns: See Chapters 34, 35. His use of money in others’ campaigns: See Chapters 32, 35.
“The greatest electoral victory”: Theodore H. White, The Making of the President, 1968, p. 22.
One of the richest men: Life, Aug. 21, 1964, examined the Johnson holdings in detail, and estimated their total value at “approximately $14,000,000”—even without the assets of what Life described as “a somewhat mysterious entity called the Brazos-Tenth Street Company,” an Austin firm whose activities were tightly interwoven with the Johnsons’. “If the assets of Brazos-Tenth are added—as many knowledgeable Texans think they should be—the total rounds off at more than $15,000,000,” Life said.
