"The career of Old Uncle Dan, first "King of Wall Street" is told in his words. With him began many of the precedents of the Street as well as many of the villainous practices which characterized what is known as the Jay Gould Era. Uncle Dan invented Watered Stock, for he had started life as a cattle drover; he wrecked the Erie Railroad; he first thought of selling short; he cornered gold and nearly broke down the American banking system. The story of the cut-throat partnership of Drew with Jay Gould and Jim Fiske as a revelation of the days when Wall Street was young. The beginnings of Wall Street told by its unscrupulous leader and pioneer." Very scarce in dust jacket. SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE INTERESTING COLLECTIBLE BOOKS.
