Steamtrains,
don't tell the folks near Springfield Illinois he wasn't born there. They may have to take down the Lincoln house replica!!
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.

I do know that "The Colonel" Harland Sanders was a fireman. He was a railroad employee when he took a correspondence course to become a lawyer...and was middle aged before he started his restaurant. My dad learned that from being on an excursion with him. I learned that it was with the IC by searching to find out more about it/confirm the story. That's how I ran across the IC, much to my surprise, to have been his employer. (I thought he worked for the Southern!...I feel kind of cheated that he really was a yankee!)
If you search the web for Harland sanders and either railroad or Illinois Central, you'll find plenty of confirmation...
Now, I do think that Doctor Wayne is on to something as to the method of preparation

Well, I will have to bow to the Colonel as being more famous than Casey Jones!!
Nobody in Changshu ever heard of Casey Jones, but they have more "ken ta ji" (Kentucky)
restaurants than they have McDonald's!
