Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Little Known Master of Millions the Story of Henry Huntington A Big man, broad of shoulder and deep of chest, with blue eyes and a white military mustache, sometimes sits at a plain roll-top desk in a room on the thirteenth floor of a Broad Street skyscraper in New York, where his ears are assailed by the incessant tumult of the money-mills. Curiously enough, though he seems to be in Wall Street at intervals, he is not of Wall Street. Unobserved and practically unknown, he passes amid the captains whose fame and fortune are widely exploited, yet few individuals rank with him in volume and distribution of personal wealth. He has a process of financing peculiarly his own. Though his family name is linked with epic corporate conquest he has kept studiously in the background, remaining by choice and inclination one of the really few aloof but dominating figures in the most fascinating of all games. Such is Henry E. Huntington, favorite nephew of the masterful Collis P. Huntington, whose recent marriage to the widow of that Colossus of the Coast not only set up a new mile-post in the march of American fortune, but attracted public attention to a career as remarkable, in many ways, as it is little known. Because he happened to be the nephew and heir of a prince of capital there is an impression that good luck coddled him in her luxurious lap and made his life, almost from the start, a bed of gilded ease.
