ON THE BACK COVER:
This is the life story of an unusual American. Henry Clay Frick was born in a remodelled spring-house and educated at the common schools. He embarked early in the great industry which became his life pursuit, made his first million at thirty and, still a young man, became a controlling factor in one of the world's greatest in I us-trial enterprises. Here is a history of achievement that glows with life, the thrilling growth of American industry, and, above all, with the vibrant personality of the MAN.
In Col. Harvey's vivid prose the early days of Henry Clay Frick and his first steps in business take on a new significance. The famous Homestead strike, the attempt on Mr. Frick's life, his relations with the Carnegies, the Mellons and many other famous industrial figures are brilliantly portrayed, with a wealth of letters and other documents that are always fascinating and frequently sensational. The volume is an important contribution to the industrial history of the era as well as an intimate and endearing portrait of a notable character.
