About This Item

Knopf, 2006-10-03. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "A fascinating biography. A compelling portrait of a dour and lonely financier who was wounded in love, disappointed in his children and, tragically, ill-rewarded by his government. Mr. Cannadine paints a vivid picture of 19th-century Pittsburgh as a crucible of the Industrial Revolution. Among Mellon's customers or business partners were a Who’s Who of American tycoons. A sprawling work for a sprawling life." - Roger Lowenstein, New York Times
