This biography of E. H. Harriman (1847-1909) reasserts his legacy as one of America's greatest financiers and railroad leaders. A Wall Street banker until age 50, Harriman catapulted into the railroad arena in 1897 by gaining control of the Union Pacific Railroad as it emerged from bankruptcy. He later acquired large stakes in the Southern Pacific and the Baltimore and Ohio, sometimes clashing with James J. Hill, J. P. Morgan, and Theodore Roosevelt.
