What Has Changed in the Last Century
When Collier's compiled this in 1921 Isaac R. Sherwood was still sitting in the House; he lost his seat that year, won it back for the 68th Congress (1923-25) as the oldest member of that body, and died at Toledo in 1925 at the age of ninety. Granville Hudson Sherwood's episcopate at Springfield, which Collier's records as beginning in April 1917, proved brief and ended with his death in the 1920s. Aiton's one-line cross-reference from Sherwood to Robin Hood still points the right way, but the forest itself has shrunk to roughly a thousand acres of surviving ancient woodland in Nottinghamshire, protected as a national nature reserve and centred on the hollow Major Oak, now propped up on steel supports and visited by hundreds of thousands of people a year through a visitor centre run by the RSPB.
