Book of Daniel Drew: The Inside Story of the First Great Wall Street Speculator - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

From a time when Wall Street was accessible by horse and a new issue of stock only required a printing press, this is the "autobiography" of an unrepentant participant in the golden era of robber barons. Based upon Drew's written recollections found after his death, this book covers Drew's entire life; from his cattle driving days, where he claims to have coined the phrase "watered stock", through his lifelong competition with Cornelius Vanderbilt and his partnerships with Jim Fisk and Jay Gould, to his final days, when he had lost his entire fortune.
