Villard

"Henry Villard was one of the most remarkable and important figures to shape the tumultuous history of nineteenth-century America. A preeminent Civil War journalist, an industrialist, and a financial maverick, his courage, perseverance, and farsightedness made him the equal of such titans of his day as J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie.". "Drawing on unpublished letters, Henry Villard's German and English memoirs, and many other sources, Alexandra Villard de Borchgrave's and John Cullen's fast-paced, absorbing biography vividly recreates Villard's times and tells the rags-to-riches story of a German immigrant who made major contributions to his adopted homeland."--BOOK JACKET.
