His ancestors can be documented back to James Smith Gaulding, CSA of Tift Co, GA and Judge Archibald Alexander Gaulding, Civil War Newspress Publisher of Tift Co, GA; as well as the Gauldings of Colonial Virginia.
In 1925, Buck completed Soldier's Training School at Camp McClellan, AL, where he excelled in "Rifleman" and all athletics; joining his parents in Immokalee, Collier Co, FL, after the War.
Buck worked as a surveyor with the Tamiami Trail Blazers, putting in Hwy 41 across the Everglades; consisting of 91 miles, connecting the east and west coasts in South Florida, led by two Indian guides. A project which began in April of 1923, after WWI, at a time when there was just a number of well-traveled Indian trails running from Fort Myers to Miami, many of which were at least 100 yrs old. The Everglades at that time was occupied by the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians; many of which remained friends of both Clinton Parker "Buck" Gaulding, as well as his Father, Parker Lafayette Gaulding, with whom they held the utmost respect.
