Scots helped found Lake Forest, and hundreds of native-born Scots settled there. The Scottish influence is evident in town names along Chicago's North Shore like Glencoe, Bannockburn, Milburn, and Dundee. James Simpson was CEO of Marshall Field and Company and oversaw the building of the Merchandise Mart. The Keith family theater chain became RKO Studios with Scots-born J.J. They also founded Douglas and Stuart Oats, which became Quaker Oats. Only slightly smaller was Wilson Meats, which later spun off Wilson Sporting Goods. Scots partnered to form Carson Pirie & Scott. Murdock as president. Hugh Robertson was president of the Zenith Corporation, and the Armour family operated one of the largest meatpacking companies in the world. After Simpson, a series of Scots ran Fields: John McKinlay, James McKinsey, and Hughston McBain. This book tells the story of these Scots and many others.
