"He Who Sells What Isn't His'n Must Buy it Back or Go to Pris'n."
--"Uncle Dan'l" Drew Long out of print and virtually unavailable for
years, THE BOOK OF DANIEL DREW is the irresistible story of a country
boy who grew up to become Wall Street's first great speculator. Told for
the most part in his own salty language - of his early life as a cattle
drover, as a profiteer of "watered" cattle (a scheme he later used in
the stock deal in the famed Erie Railroad operation), of his building of
a fortune on Wall Street and of his epic struggles with Commodore
Vanderbilt including his unholy alliances with Gould, Fisk and Boss
Tweed. Originally published in 1910, THE BOOK OF DANIEL DREW is a true
classic of the stock market. It's a fascinating look at an era in
American financial history whose ethos was "anything goes" and anything
did!
