Complete and unabridged, with 46 full-page plates by Ernest Lawson, George Bellows and Childe Hassam. Two men from an Indiana town: one goes to Wall Street and gets everything, the other stays and does not — and the woman between them pays the bill. Phillips was the muckraker whose Treason of the Senate so enraged Roosevelt that the President coined the word to insult him, and he was shot dead in the street at forty-three. The finance in this 1904 novel is technically exact, which is why it still bites. Forty-six plates of Bingham, Luks and their peers, from Missouri boatmen to Houston Street crowds, picture the American striving this novel measures in dollars and ruin.
