ICHAUWAY PLANTATION, SOUTH GEORGIAICHAUWAY PLANTATION, SOUTH GEORGIA Lots 949-974 in this auction are associated with Ichauway Plantation, The Woodruff's South Georgia hunting camp and retreat.
Ichauway, Creek Indian for ?where deer sleep? was a vast 29,000-acre working-hunting plantation in southern Georgia initially assembled in 1928 by both Robert W. Woodruff and Walter White of the White Motor Company. White died in an automobile accident in September of 1929 and Woodruff found himself the sole owner of the sprawling plantation. When confronted early in this venture with its wide-spread malaria and hook-worm problems, Woodruff immediately stock-piled and distributed quinine, the medication for malarial treatment, and brought in specialists to provide medical solutions. Woodruff?s wife, Nell, was a registered Red Cross nurse and initially treated these patients in the plantation?s kitchen until a separate building was constructed to handle the Plantation?s medical facilities. This early investment in the plantation staff and tenant health eventually resulted in the formation of the Center For Disease Control (The CDC) prominently located not in Washington, D. C. but on the campus of Emory University.
Today the plantation is the Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center emphasizing research, conservation, and education outreach.
Ichauway was the ideal ?get-a-way? for Woodruff where he could ride, relax, and share quality time with his and Nell?s many friends. The list was long but focused on President Eisenhower, Edgar Bergen, and Charlie McCarthy - on one occasion when the Game officer discovered that someone had bagged one more turkey than allowed, Bergen, the consummate ventriloquist, held the dead turkey and asked it: ?Turkey, who killed you?? The turkey replied: ?Why Mr. Bergen, you know plumb well you is the one who don kilt me?, thus vindicating the actual suspected hunter. Also Robert T. Jones, Jr. (who would practice his golf swings at the skeet range), Charles Elliott (the author of ?Mr. Anonymous?, ?East Lake Country Club History?, and ?Turkey Hunting?, among others), Grantland Rice (famous sports writer of the 1920s and 1930s), Ty Cobb (who needs no introduction), and other national and international corporate leaders.
Ichauway was also home to an in-house Negro spiritual ensemble of house-hold staff and plantation workers called the Plantation Choir; it was originated and fine-tuned by none other than Morton Downey, Sr. When Eisenhower required some ?stress relief? the White House would call Ichauway and request several of his favorite ?spirituals.? Downey would line the group on the stairs and hall and lead them in full-throated renditions of Eisenhower?s favorites while the President listened contentedly on the phone.
The natural collection of fowl at Ichauway is astounding, and to commemorate this diversity and natural treasure Woodruff commissioned Athos Menaboni to paint each species for a total number of 44. The annual paintings were reproduced as Christmas Cards and mailed to close friends and associates. Included in this auction is Robert Woodruff?s personal collection of those Christmas cards; it is reported that there are no other full sets available at this time.
