It is believed that a william wrigley was a sergeant in the british army who answered the call for volunteers to join the union army in the 1860s he returned to the uk after several years full of the american way of life and with the title colonel.No one can substantiat what had happened in his life during the war and afterwards until his return to his home town in the uk.he was a flamboyant man and held anyone listening to him in thrall ,of the people he had met and knew and it seemed that the americans loved him.His experiences helped in making a successful living as a jewellry auctioneer and his audiences were thoroughly entertained by his accounts of the exciting life he had led in america .this was so evident that the public flocked to all his venues culminating in the illogical and popular marriage to a girl of eighteen when he was a young swain of seventytwo .He then fathered five children to die at the unwanted age of eightyfour still full of america and that great struggle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.47.175 (talk)
