SPLENDID ISOLATION spans 54 years, from the Gilded Age to World War II, and is told through the voices of four longtime employees of the exclusive Jekyll Island Club, where the first families of American industry and finance gathered every winter. These titans (such as J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Joseph Pulitizer and others), who controlled one-sixth of the world's wealth, spent three to five months on one of Georgia's most beautiful sea-barrier islands, where they could hunt, golf, play tennis, bicycle along sand-packed roadways, and ride horses--as well as dine at the elegant Jekyll Island Hotel, enjoy the north beaches, and stroll under live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Mueller weaves a captivating tale, as told through the unique voices of four Jekyll Island Club employees, about the powerful elite chasing the American entrepreneurial dream and making history, including the first transcontinental phone call, presidential campaign planning, and the secret creation of what became the Federal Reserve.
