"An exceptionally fine monograph on the career of an important nineteenth-century businessman. What emerges is the story of a man who promoted many enterprises that often stimulated or accelerated economic development, and with profit to himself. Neu's book fills an important chapter in the economic and entrepreneurial history of the United States from Jackson through Lincoln." - New York Historical Society Quarterly.
