Description
THE STARKWEATHERS-
THEY USED HISTORY TO MAKE MONEY AND MONEY TO MAKE HISTORY. THEY HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING!
POWER
With the guts and gusto of robber barons H.H. Starkweather and J.P. Morgan invented the money game. From Civil War railroad stock raids to the consolidation of America's most powerful private bank, old H.H. showed the world he knew how to play.
PRESTIGE
Harry rode the mounting tide of expansion in society's splendor. Jay Gould, Jim Fisk, Boss Tweed, the Vanderbilts, Astors and Rockefellers. Through the 20's Harry showed he. too, could play hard and fast with the best and the worst of them.
LOVE
It remained for Tyler, son of rank and privilege, desperately in love with a hot-headed, hot-blooded Italian girl, to wonder if the game he was born to play was worth the price he would have to pay.
