Description: Captains Of Industries" by American Heritage, Rare Vtg 1966 Hc/Dj Collectiblefrom a church school library Captains of Industry is one of many volumes in the American Heritage Junior Library. This volume presents biographical profiles of ten leaders of business and finance in late nineteenth and early twentieth century America.The book begins with a portrayal of Cornelius Vanderbilt and how he made his fortune in steamboats and railroads. Cyrus McCormick and his reaper made farming more efficient. Philip Armour grew wealthy by investing in livestock and James Duke grew wealthy by investing in tobacco. James Hill built a railroad empire while Meyer Guggenheim profited from mining and precious metals. John Rockefeller made his fortune in oil. Banker and money mogul J. P. Morgan was so wealthy and influential that he made two American presidents meet his terms to save the country from financial panic. Canny investment in the growing iron and steel business made Andrew Carnegie wealthy. Finally, Henry Ford made his fortune by putting America on wheels.These masters of industry and finance made possible the economic transformation of the United States and were both respected and feared; some of these leaders established philanthropic agencies such as libraries and universities. The book also describes the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and its attempt to curb the abuses of the trusts. Numerous photographs, paintings, and political cartoons supplement the narrative. Captains of Industry is a great book for middle/high school students or anyone interested in the lives of these influential leaders of business and finance.
