It's a mad, mad, mad, mad wayne

Today's quiz: The great American director Raoul Walsh suggested a new name for actor Marion Morrison because he had just been reading about which American Revolution general?

Answer: "Mad" Anthony Wayne, for whom the second-largest city in Indiana was also named. For reasons that aren't recorded, "Anthony" was replaced with "John," and The Duke and Fort Wayne became forever entwined.
