The Murder of Jim Fisk for the Love of Josie Mansfield A Tragedy of the Gilded Age (Audiobook)
English | 2011 | [email protected] Kbps | ASIN: B0053ET41E | Duration: 4:56 h | 135 MB H. W. Brands / Narrated by Richard McGonagle
Even before he was shot dead on the stairway of the tony Grand Central Hotel in 1872, financier James "Jubilee Jim" Fisk, Jr., was a notorious New York City figure. From his audacious attempt to corner the gold market in 1869 to his battle for control of the geographically crucial Erie Railroad, Fisk was a flamboyant exemplar of a new financial era marked by volatile fortunes and unprecedented greed and corruption. But it was his scandalously open affair with a showgirl named Josie Mansfield that ultimately led to his demise.
In this riveting short history - the first in his American Portraits series - H. W. Brand's traces Fisk's extraordinary downfall, bringing to life New York's Gilded Age and some of its legendary players, including Boss William Tweed, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the railroad tycoon Jay Gould.
