Industry Reviews "...[B]usiness historian John Steele Gordon tells fascinating stories of the many colorful characters who have populated Wall Street: from the time of Alexander Hamilton, through the eras of Commodore Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan and Charles Merrill, to the Roaring 80's of Michael Milken. In the process he corrects some common misimpressions." Wall Street Journal - David R. Henderson (12/13/1999)
