Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jay Cooke, Vol. 1: Financier of the Civil War
But the greatest debt of gratitude I owe, of course, to Mr. Cooke's children and more particularly to Mr. And Mrs. Barney, whose devotion to the undertaking has known no alloy at any time. Their generosity and goodness on every occasion in putting material at my disposal, in advising and counselling me as to facts and judgments, and in pleasant words and kindly acts of many sorts as the work progressed can only be hinted at, not fully expressed, on a public page. I am also under obligations to Horace Harding, of New York, for assistance and advice.
