THE LIFE STORY OF J. PIERPONT MORGAN - A Biography (Illustrated)
This book is the personal history of J. Pierpont Morgan—the story of his life and his immense achievements, and a portrait of a personality of extraordinary power and singular interest. It is neither an attack nor a eulogy; neither a theory of Wall street, nor an argument about the money power. Its aim is to give the facts, and an interpretation of them based on intimate and full knowledge. It brings the reader to a better understanding of a figure of international importance, whose business career, with its great battles of finance, has in it a something of daring and romance, and whose pastimes of peace have added new and priceless treasures of art to the museums of America and Europe.
The record of fact in this biography is enlivened by anecdote, personal, and first-hand, "inside" information — the story, for instance, of the Cleveland bond issue, as here told and never before published—which are by turns informing, illuminating or diverting.
Full attention is given to the great battles with Jay Gould over the Erie Railway; to the new birth of railroads under his hand; to the gold controversy of 1895; to the creation of the greatest of all industrial combinations, the United States Steel Trust; to the true story of the panic of 1907; and to many other matters of hardly less moment. The chapters dealing with United States Steel and the panic of 1907 cannot fail to be of commanding interest to financiers and all concerned with business problems on a grand scale.
