J. PIERPONT MORGAN: An Intimate Portrait

By

Pub Date: Nov. 28th, 1939
Publisher: Macmillan

An intimate picture of the great financier, sanctioned by him to be written by his son-in-law and deliberately withheld from publication until now. Mr. Satterlee claims that other biographies have been often grotesquely untrue and inaccurate. This does not stress details of his business career, but concentrates chiefly on his background, his home life and the man himself, as his family and intimates knew him. The appeal to those who like inside pictures of the life of the great and the near great in the social world will find this to their taste.
