I grew up in Wilmington, DE, where the duPonts were kings (literally). Alfred I
duPont had a stone wall built around his estate, topped with broken glass (it
was still there last time I visited, although it's now a prestigious children's
osteo research hospital). He claimed it was "to keep out unwelcome visitors,
especially those with the name duPont".
