Biography:
The man whom Stutterbuck refers to in The Mansion as "Black Jack" is John Joseph Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force that went to Europe during the last year of World War I - or as Stutterbuck puts it, who went "to France to run the show over there" (84). Stutterbuck claims to know Pershing, but there is not the slightest chance he is telling the truth, about that or anything else.
