Major Berry began corralling mineral leases in the Tennessee Valley in 1932 with a Knoxville real-estate man named C. A. Harris as partner and W. H. Ford, a local promoter, as their agent.

Congress of 1935 and the pacific Congress of 1936, held during the short-lived "era of good-feeling," right after the Roosevelt landslide.
