"To Americans living in the first years of the twentieth century, E. H. Harriman was as familiar a name as J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. Like his fellow businessmen, Harriman (1847-1909) had essentially become the symbol for an entire industry: Morgan stood for banking, Rockefeller for oil, Carnegie for iron and steel - and Harriman for railroads. But despite his stature, Harriman has remained a surprisingly understudied figure.
With this book, Maury Klein offers the first in-depth biography in more than seventy-five years of "The Man Who Saved the Railroads."" "With its new insights into the myths and controversies that surround Harriman's career, this book reasserts his legacy as one of the great turn-of-the-century business titans."--BOOK JACKET.
