Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Mr. O'Connor has painted Andrew Mellon's portrait in bold relief. It is the biography of a fortune, a man and an age -- and its characters are the known and unknown men of the last half century. it is packed with the rush and roar of a young nation, the strategy and intrigue of Big Business, and tells for the first time the dominant part Mellon played in the now famous Harding-Coolidge-Hoover dynasty.For years the words "Mellon" and "mystery" have been synonymous. The Pittsburgh banker was among the ten wealthiest men in the United States before his name ever reached the headlines. Yet when the Senatorial spotlight was turned on the Greatest Secretary of the Treasury Since Hamilton, it exposed a Croesus to whom every citizen in the United States paid tribute. Mellon's heritage was a fortune which began with petty moneylending and real estate speculations. Today it towers beside the mighty piles of the Rockefellers, Morgans and Fords. The story of his life reads like a human balance sheet. It is a record of merger and combine, of monopoly and price-fixing; of millions tumbling into the Mellon banks as the aftermath of the great crashes of 1873, 1893, 1907 and 1929; of profits of tens of millions wrung from every armed conflict since the Civil War. To-day this "Man Nobody Knows" still levies his tribute on the homeowner's coal, the housewife's aluminumware, the motorist's gasoline, the traveler's railroad fare, the dentist's drill, the navy's armor plate, the army's explosives -- too mention but a few. It is a biography essentially American.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
