Captain Walker Tied to Clarke County Racing Fame
Captain Walker built a Pagebrook estate in Clarke County in 1914 and led the county in breeding and training thoroughbred race horses. He helped attract buyers of colonial estates for horse farming, worked with Samuel K. Ross and Admiral Cary T. Grayson, and kept a large stable at Pagebrook while racing at Belmont Park.

Walker, had a distinguished U.S. and Confederate career with service from Mexico to Arkansas and Texas, later engaging in mining, engineering, and diplomacy in the Southwest.
