Really. Brooks Brothers was founded in and has always been a New York City-based company; Cole Haan is a Chicago company; PFG is based in Portland, Oregon; Sperrys came from New England; and Lecoste is French, for Pete's sake.

(And back in the day, Freeport, Maine's L.L. Bean would also have appeared on this list. Their duck shoes are still a must in these parts. )

It's a line of Columbia Sportswear: Performance Fishing Gear.

You might want to read up on Robert E. Lee a little more -- he went to West Point and was stationed in Ohio, Missouri, Iowa and New York, among other places. In the early stages of the Civil War, he considered the succession of the Southern states to be betrayal of principles on which this country was built. He was asked to take a command in the Union Army, which he said he would do as long as Virginia did not secede. Because he considered his primary loyalty to be to Virginia, when it was clear that Virginia would secede, and only then, did he resign his commission in the US Army.
