Excerpt from Lawless Wealth: The Origin of Some Great American Fortunes
Here, at the gateway of a world, sits the imperial city of New York, and about her and over her is piled such wealth as men have never before dreamed of.
How wonderful it all is! Daily in this richest of cities you can see the golden flood rising and never ebbing. So much wealth, so much luxury, such a bewildering display, such a concentration of the power for which money is only a symbol has not been known in the records of the race. No other men have been so rich as some New York men; so many rich men have not gathered in another place.
