Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Daniel Drew: A Glimpse of the Fisk-Gould-Tweed, Regime From the Inside A caution to the reader is necessary. From the fact that these papers are put in the first person throughout, one unwarned would get the impression that they were left by Mr. Drew in finished form, and that may task as editor had been merely to dig up from the rubbish of some attic a bundle of manuscript undiscovered these thirty years since his death, and hand it over to the printer. This view would be the more natural, because of the following article (I quote it in part), which appeared in the New York Tribute, February 8, 1905: "A diary of Daniel Drew, containing pen pictures of former Wall Street celebrities and accounts of old-time financial transactions, has been discovered. It came to New York the other day in an old trunk which was shipped down from Putman County to a grandniece of the financier from the Drew estate in Carmel. Yesterday, in going through her consignment, she came upon the diary. ´Jim´ Fisk is mentioned often in its pages, and also Cornelius Vanderbilt. Events of ´Black Friday´ are touched on." The article goes on to state that the diary would be prepared for publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
