Colonel John McCaull was a lawyer who was born in Scotland in 1847. A few years later he moved to Pulaski County Virginia. He set a law practice in Salem Va. for a few years before the Civil War. After serving in the Confederate Army as a Colonel he became a member of the Va. House of delegates and moved to Richmond where he met and married his wife. He then moved to Baltimore to continue his law practice.Mr. Ford a client (and owner of the Ford theater in Washington) was trying to secure the rights from The Doyle Carte Opera Company to perform Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta’s in this country. McCaull was instrumental in securing those rights and the performances were a huge success, so huge in fact, that McCaull gave up his law practice and went into partnership with Ford.
