"Finance. Business. Romance. Murder. The life and times of Jubilee Jim Fisk are captured by Robert Fuller in this sweeping biography of one of the greatest and most lovable rogues of American business history.".
"His career was filled with high drama and excitement - from his ongoing rivalry with such luminaries as Daniel Drew and Cornelius Vanderbilt to his exposition of the scandal of the Credit Mobilier and his attempts to secure control of the Erie Railroad. Most spectacularly of all, his partnership with Jay Gould culminated in one of the most incredible episodes in Wall Street history: the 1869 Black Friday gold scandal.
Add to this his exploits as a circus showman, a Civil War profiteer, an adulterous lover, and a theatre impresario, and you have the captivating story of Jubilee Jim."--BOOK JACKET.
