About this book
Jay Gould, called the Wizard of Wall Street, gets a full-length life from Trumbull White, written within weeks of the financier's death in December 1892. It follows him from boyhood in his father's dairy through work as a surveyor and local historian and a quarrel over tanneries, to his first railroad and the fight over Erie. Later chapters treat the gold conspiracy and Black Friday, the western railways, the telegraph and the Manhattan Elevated, then his death, funeral, family and fortune, ending with a chapter of anecdotes.
