Henry Clay Frick

the gospel of greed

By Schreiner, Samuel Agnew

Publishers Summary:
"Henry Clay Frick remains the quintessential American capitalist. This is the first full-length biography of this giant of industry. Henry Clay Frick is the least known, the most enigmatic, of all the so-called robber barons who stalked the land during America's Gilded Age. A taciturn man, Frick shunned publicity throughout his life and left a legacy of silence far into the future."--BOOK JACKET. "Frick remains known today for how he spent his money - mostly on the dazzling art works that comprise the world-famous Frick collection in New York City - rather than for how he made it. Henry Clay Frick reveals how a man from a small Pennsylvania town came to take center stage in the drama of America's industrial development."--BOOK JACKET.
