Joan Mellen's FAUSTIAN BARGAINS: LYNDON JOHNSON AND MAC WALLACE IN THE ROBBER BARON CULTURE OF TEXAS
#16
Drew Phipps Wrote:I spoke to the younger Polk Shelton today. He confirmed that his uncle, the elder Polk Shelton, was an attorney from Central Texas back in the day. The elder Polk Shelton died in 1976. The younger Polk Shelton didn't know anything about the Mac Wallace case, but he did say that his uncle knew LBJ. He told me that his uncle ran against Johnson in the '30's (confirmed, 1937 Special election for Texas 10th Congressional District) and, after that, LBJ and the elder Polk Shelton were friends, and that his uncle was "political," and that there's a street named after him somewhere in Austin.


BTW the younger Polk Shelton isn't "political" at all; but he does sing and play guitar.


Really well I might add. I see him in court still all the time in San Marcos. Some lawyers just never retire and Polk is one of them. Nice guy too. I asked him a long time ago about the Mac Wallace case when I first saw the name "Polk Shelton" associated with it. He did not know and I was not about to supply details as like Drew I assumed it was his dad.
