Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. 1: Part I: Conditions in Settlement and Colonial Times; Part II: The Great Land Fortunes In writing this work my aim has been to give the exact facts as far as the available material allows. Necessarily it is impossible, from the very nature of the case, to obtain all the facts. It is obvious that in both past and present times the chief beneficiaries of our social and industrial system have found it to their interest to represent their accumulations as the rewards of industry and ability, and have likewise had the strongest motives for concealing the circumstances of all those complex and devious methods which have been used in building up great fortunes. In this they have been assisted by a society so constituted that the means by which these great fortunes have been amassed have been generally lauded as legitimate and exemplary. The possessors of towering fortunes have hitherto been described in two ways. On the one hand, they have been held up as marvels of success, as preeminent examples of thrift, enterprise and extraordinary ability. More recently, however, the tendency in certain quarters has been diametrically the opposite. This latter class of writers, intent upon pandering to a supposed popular appetite for sensation, pile exposure upon exposure, and hold up the objects of their diatribes as monsters of commercial and political crime. Neither of these classes has sought to establish definitely the relation of the great fortunes to the social and industrial system which, has propagated them.

This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1910, a primary source for the business and development of American power in the nineteenth century. As Myers describes in his preface, it was the fashion in the early twentieth century to write of the multi-millionaires in an unfavorable light, as if they were all robber barons and had no social conscience. In his history he was attempting to be more realistic in his perspective. Volume one tells of the colonization of America and the large land grants and the great land fortunes. Volumes two and three cover the great fortunes from railroads, with extensive material on J. P. Morgan in relation to that category. Gustavus Myers (1872-1942) was an American historian who worked on a number of newspapers and magazines in New York City, joined the Populist party and the Social Reform Club, and was a member (1907-12) of the Socialist party. Such books as The History of Tammany Hall (1901), History of the Great American Fortunes (1910), and History of the Supreme Court of the United States (1912) were detailed, realistic exposes through which Myers made his reputation in the muckraking era of American literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. I by Gustavus Myers is a seminal work that offers a deep exploration of the origins and growth of wealth and power in the United States. This comprehensive historical account spans from the colonial era to the late 19th century, shedding light on the economic forces, political maneuverings, and societal implications behind the rise of influential American families. Key aspects of History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. I: Wealth and Influence: Gustavus Myers meticulously traces the paths of prominent American families as they amassed vast fortunes and consolidated power. Through detailed research and analysis, he reveals the intricate web of economic activities, monopolistic practices, and political alliances that propelled these families to the top of the social hierarchy.Socioeconomic Impact: The book goes beyond individual biographies, examining the broader impact of wealth accumulation on society. Myers delves into the exploitation of labor, the concentration of wealth, and the resultant inequalities and social divisions that arose during this transformative period of American history. Critical Lens: Myers presents a critical perspective on the traditional narratives of American exceptionalism and the myth of the self-made man. He exposes the mechanisms that facilitated the rise of great fortunes, including political corruption, favorable legislation, and the manipulation of economic systems, challenging popular notions of meritocracy. History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. I provides readers with a thought-provoking exploration of wealth, power, and the complex interplay between economics, politics, and society in the United States. Gustavus Myers, an American journalist and historian, dedicated his life to the study of social and economic inequality. Born in 1872, Myers conducted extensive research and authored several influential books, including History of the Great American Fortunes and The History of Tammany Hall. His works shed light on the power dynamics, corruption, and injustices prevalent in American society during the Gilded Age. Myers' commitment to exposing systemic inequities and advocating for social reform continues to inspire critical examination of economic disparities and their impact on society.
