About this book

The Wall Street titan J. P. Morgan still bears the name of its founder, who changed and innovated American Finance. Chief financier to such industry leaders Carnegie and Rockefeller enabling their construction of continent spanning empires. He was also at the cutting edge of new and emergent technologies, bankrolling and championing luminaries and visionaries such as Thomas Edison and the Mercurial Nikola Tesla. This is his story…
"IT is to J. Pierpont Morgan, of all living Americans, that the expression of a famous French historian is best applied—a force of nature; that is what he is, or, it may be better to say, that is what is in him; an immense and unruly power, which is only increased by the obstacles standing in its way. His personality is sometimes compared with that of Theodore Roosevelt, because both are masterful men, who overcome circumstances and silence opposition with crushing ease. Each has proved his possession of a mysterious force, an unconscious force, capable of producing tremendous results. But, after that, they really resemble each other as little as a journalist resembles a man of science, or an evangelist the merchants who are financing his campaign."
