There have been many personal reminiscences written about life and times of specula-tors, investors, and capitalists on famed Wall Street. Often these have been written bysecondary figures on the financial stage such as stockbrokers, those who were presentwhen the truly legendary fortunes were made in the mid and late 1800’s as well as thefinanciers (large and small).

One investor/speculator who left behind a fascinating, personal, first-hand account wasWilliam Worthington Fowler. His well-known TEN YEARS IN WALL STREET hada lesser-known subtitle of OR, REVELATIONS OF INSIDE LIFE AND EXPERI-ENCE ON ‘CHANGE. His title goes on and on (almost ten times longer than themain title itself ) to encompass some of the more dramatic events and developments hewas party to during his decade on Wall Street from 1857 to 1867. By careful gleaningof Fowler’s weighty book, we can achieve an insightful overview of the major financialfigures of the day. Moreover, we can catch a glimpse of some of the less-known figures,but still ones who exerted tremendous influence and power during their tenure in thenation’s commercial hub.

Two of the more famous personages from Wall Street were Jay Gould and James Fisk.Taken together, these two men typify the more commonly-held attitude of the public

JAY GOULD, RUSSELL SAGE & SIDNEY DILLON

JAY GOULD AND THE SAINT JOSEPH AND WESTERN RRThe St. Joseph and Western was originally chartered in 1857 as the Marysville, Palmetto and Roseport RR with its name being changedto the St. Joseph and Denver City RR in 1862. The line extended a distance of 252 miles from St. Joseph, Kansas to Grand Island,Nebraska connecting these two important mid-western American trade centers. The company went into receivership in 1874 and soldin foreclosure in November of 1875. ln 1879, (the year of this stock certificate now offered), the road came under the control of theUnion Pacific Railway which owned a large portion of the company's stocks and bonds. It thus operated as the St. Joseph and WesternDivision of the Union Pacific with Jay Gould, Russell Sage, and Sidney Dillon all serving as directors of the company. Acquisition ofthe Saint Joseph and Western RR was part of Gould’s strategy to compete with the Union Pacific. He acquired it for his Wabash sys-tem as a weapon against the Iowa pool, a system of price agreements among the would be direct competitors of Jay Gould. He forcedthe Union Pacific to buy him out via a stock swap. He got UP stock of great value in exchange. He made something in the neighborhood of $7,000,000 on the deal. By 1890 he owned half of the railroadmileage in the Southwest.

and history books as the period of the “robber barons.” Fisk appeared on the Wall Street scenein the mid-1860’s, although he was a known quantity there well before that time. Fisk waswell-acquainted with the disreputable Daniel Drew, who apparently helped to hasten Fisk’sdownward financial slide which caused him to remark in early 1868 that he was not worth“a dollar in the world.”

Robust, ebullient, joke-telling, and perpetually on the move, Fisk soon recouped his saggingfortunes, even by the end of 1868 being deeply involved in the Erie Railroad. His financialdealings brought him both into contact with, and conflict with, Commodore CorneliusVanderbilt’s empire, resulting in the famed “Erie Wars.” Fisk and accomplices Gould andDrew printed up 50,000 bogus shares of the Erie line and then bribed the New Jersey statelegislature into declaring them legal. Vanderbilt retaliated in typical fashion, and eventuallyrecouped most of his losses, but Fisk and Gould retained control of the line itself. Fisk wasnot even loyal to old collaborator Drew, helping to manipulate the Erie’s stock in 1870 to thepoint that it literally destroyed Drew’s fortune.

Fisk was the epitome of the dynamic, self-assured, and wealthy Wall Streeter who we think oftoday. Even at the height of his wealth and power, however, he always seemed to maintain an

attitude which permitted him to keep the entire spectacle in the proper perspective. Jay Gould,on the other hand, was a much different individual than Fisk. Whereas Fisk was the man ofaction, Gould was the man of thought, the planner who engineered the elaborate financial dealswhich made him a legend on Wall Street. Physically, the two could not have been more differ-ent, with Gould the smaller, slighter, and more retiring of the two, while Fisk portrayed theaggressive wheeler-dealer to the hilt. Born in New York State, Gould parlayed his earnings as asurveyor into lumber interests, intrastate railroads, and ultimately a vast empire of railroad hold-ings stretching from coast to coast. By the time of his death in 1892, Gould was reputed to haveexercised control over at least 10% of the entire railway system in the United States!

Although names like Gould and Fisk are very well-known and command attention from ustoday a full century after their exploits, there were many other contemporaries of these two“robber barons” (and others as well) who were not so well-known, but who also possessed greatwealth and influence on Wall Street.

One of these was Addison G. Jerome, hardly a household name today, but unquestionably animportant personage in the financial world inhabited by the likes of Fisk and Gould. Jeromehailed from Rochester, New York, and had come to New York City where he entered into the

JAY GOULDMISSOURI, KANSAS & TEXAS RWY

AB2. Jay Gould (1836-1892) Financier. As a youth,learned rudiments of surveying and showed precociousskill in money-making. This led to his struggle againstCornelius Vanderbilt for control. His victory and latervarious other involvement with the Union Pacific,Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Central Pacific,

Missouri, Kansas, and Texas made him a legend in Railroad finance. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas RailwayCompany was organized April 7, 1870. On 12/25/1872, five years before any railroad arrived in San Antonio, TheMissouri-Kansas-Texas Railway Company (The Katy) crossed the Red River and entered Texas, near modern dayDenison, a town that was created by the railroad. The Katy had won the race to be the first railroad to connect Texasto the rest of the country. Jay Gould would wheel and deal railroads and services. In 1880 the Missouri-Katy-Texasreached Waco. It was then leased to the Texas & Pacific. In 1881, the International & Great Northern was leased tothe MKT. As a result, Jay Gould was able to exercise control over all three, as he owned the Missouri Pacific whichleased the Texas & Pacific. He controlled these companies either directly or indirectly, plus many smaller companies.The M-K-T was leased in full to the Missouri Pacific, via the T & P, for 99 years, but Gould's empire was brought toan end in 1886 due to the efforts of the then Texas Attorney General, James Hogg, who would be elected to StateGovernor in 1890, with control of the railroads as his main platform. He accused the M-K-T of having unsafe lines

and of being owned by a "foreign" corporation in violation of the State Constitution. This was true but had originally been permitted by an earlier state legislature, again to encourage the growth of rail-roads into Texas. This had worked. Pretty soon Texas had the highest railroad mileage of any state in the union, which is still true today. Gould's monopoly was dismantled and the M-K-T was "finally"chartered in 1891 as the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway Company of Texas, more commonly known as the Katy of Texas.

dry goods business around the beginning of the Civil War period, eventually becoming very suc-cessful in that occupation.

From that springboard, Jerome was able to move into the buying and selling of securities on thepublic board. By the spring of 1863, he had already amassed a fortune in the stock market. Hehad also established his own banking house which enjoyed great success and large deposits duesto his enviable – and very well-deserved reputation on Wall Street. The year 1863 proved to bea halcyon one for Jerome as he organized and carried through some of the most successful stockmanipulations accomplished that year.

Jerome was known as a man who was not only shrewd, but one who was not totally blind to theplight of other traders whose fortunes had not developed as profitably as his own. On one occa-sion, he contacted a fellow broker whose lameness prevented his attendance at the market, andsuggested that he buy several thousand shares of a stock in which Jerome held a controlling inter-est. The broker did so at Jerome’s suggestion, and made a tidy profit of some $60,000 in a mat-ter of days as the stock’s value rose.

Jerome could also be a shrewd trader who could influence the market to his own advantage. Heonce offered a group of traders any part of fifteen thousand shares of the Galena Railroad whichhe was holding. The brokers thought he was only doing it to depress the price in order to buythe shares cheaply because the stock was going to go up in price. The following morning, thestock dropped 10% in value, and Jerome bought back his shares with a handsome profit of some$125,000 to sweeten the deal!

Unfortunately, fortunes were lost every bit as quickly as they were made on Wall Street. The fol-lowing year, Jerome’s fortunes plummeted after being entangled in the web of yet another mar-ket manipulator, Henry Keep. Jerome’s losses in the deal were reported to have been in excess of$800,000 in just a few short months. Thereafter, he ceased to be an important factor on WallStreet, and died the following year, virtually penniless. Fortunately for his widow, Jerome hadalways set aside a certain percentage of every deal he made to give to his wife, so she was able tomaintain an estate of several hundred thousand dollars of her own.

Another of these “lesser luminaries” was the already-mentioned Henry Keep, the man whoalmost singlehandedly wiped out Jerome. Keep was one of those early Wall Streeters who saw theCivil War coming and realized the enormous profits to be made from the upward direction stockswould be taking.

Keep had come to New York City from the interior part of the state where it had been rumoredthat his father was a pauper, a condition which had an enormous, lifelong effect on young Henry.His education in the “school of hard knocks” served Keep well as he kept to himself, never madebrash moves, and continually kept abreast of the market and where it was headed. Keep appar-ently adhered to the old proverb that “Speech is silver; silence is golden.” His lack of flashinessmade him something of an enigma on Wall Street, a man who most knew very little about and

JAY GOULD AND GEORGE GOULD-SAINT LOUIS STOCKAB3. Jay Gould (1836-1892), Financier. Keenwitted and unscrupulous, he began spec-ulating in railroads after 1860. His son George J. Gould inherited vast railway interests butlost these, one by one, to opposition financiers led by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Edward H.Harriman. St. Louis had a Union Depot, that could handle only 14 trains daily. Gould, stillin control of the Wabash and Missouri Pacific roads, created a monopoly of trans-rivermovement so he could set the tariff for trains to cross. Responding to this "arbitrary," as itwas called, the Merchants Exchange organized in 1886 to build a Merchants Bridge to breakthe Eads monopoly. Gould organized the Terminal Railroad Association (TRRA) in October1889. The TRRA consolidated freight terminals and Union Depot via Eads Bridge and theSt. Louis tunnel. The Merchants Bridge which opened the following year had a strong com-petitor. The Merchants had problems connecting with freight lines and offered no passen-ger service to Union Depot. After the Panic of 1893, Merchants was broke. The TRRA tookover its debt and on August 13, regained its monopoly over rail connections into St. Louis.The arbitrary continued into the 20th Century. The TRRA used this "arbitrary" to set ratesfor freight entering or leaving the city by rail, so it had a direct impact on the cost of usingSt. Louis as a shipping terminal or warehousing center. It gave a certain impetus to business-es in Illinois, who chose to not pay extra overhead to bring goods into the city. It also pro-vided a motive for businesses to relocate north or south of the city, where it could ship goodswithout the heavy hand of the TRRA and its arbitrary. Rare railway stock of the UnionDepot Grounds issued to Jay Gould and nicely signed at back. His signature is witnessed byhis son George J. Gould. (The signatures are more attractive than our illustration indicates.)Excellent Condition and a Very Important Stock. $900

who seemed to like it that way. It was that very conservativeness which caused him to proceedwith caution and investigate the market before taking the enormous risks which so many otherstook without the same background work and investigating.

An excellent example of how he accomplished this was his longstanding interest in the OldSouthern Railroad Company which became his favorite stock. There was not a single clause inits charter, nor any railroad law affecting it, that he did not know intimately and commit tomemory. The formal name of the line was the Michigan Southern and Northern IndianaRailroad Company, although its more common sobriquet was the Old Southern, and Keep hada definite soft spot in his heart for the line as he made money from it during both boom and busttimes, so well informed was he able the intricacies and nuances of the line.

One of Keep’s stock-watering schemes deserves a further explanation here. At one point in 1863,Keep and his associates issued fourteen thousand additional shares of Old Southern in a stock“watering” scheme which they managed to keep totally secret until after the scheme had beenhatched and the shares sold. Moreover, Keep knew full well that the price of Old Southern’s stockwould plummet once the scheme became common knowledge as the new shares would dilutethe value of the already outstanding ones. With that firmly in mind, Keep and his associates went“short” on the stock, and as it fell from its high point, he repurchased the shares he had sold onlydays before, reaping an enormous profit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Another of the great (but relatively unknown) Wall Streeters was the unobtrusive Jacob Little,a man whose surname also reflect his somewhat diminutive stature. However, that rathersmall exterior hid the boldness and shrewdness which made him a power on Wall Street forseveral decades.

Born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Little came to New York as a boy, soon entering the officeof an early financier, Jacob Barker. Within a few years, Little had gained enough experience anbusiness savvy to venture off onto his own, and around 1835 began his own financial empire.Sensitive to the twists and turns of the stock market, Little foresaw the coming of the great Panicof 1837, and sold short in his stock holdings, reaping enormous profits for several years duringa time when many went bankrupt. Between 1838 and 1846, he was considered by most to bethe leading financier on Wall Street with a personal fortune estimated at some $2,000,000 a stag-gering sum for that time period.

Not all of his ventures were successful, however, in 1846, he and a group of supportive investorsattempted to corner the market in the Norwich and a Worcester Railroad. Little soon found thathis elaborate plans had stalled as had the stock’s price, forcing him to sell below the intended tar-get price. Little was forced to pay a large indemnity to his collaborators, resulting in a loss to himof around $1,000,000!

Little soon rebounded, however. Once he sold an enormous quantity of Erie Railroad stock onsellers’ options, a move which led many investors to quickly buy up all loose Erie stock then on

the market and wait for what they believed would be Little’s vain attempt to repurchase the stockat a heavy profit to them. On the day the stock was to be delivered, Little showed up shortlybefore the deadline with a clutch of freshly printed Erie stock. Unbeknownst to those looking tounseat Little, he had previously purchased a large number of certificates of indebtedness, convert-ible into stock! He had simply bought those, and then converted them into stock on the day thestock was due.

By the late 1850’s, Little’s star had waned significantly on the market. Despite his various upsand downs on Wall Street, and the rather callous and blunt exterior he exhibited, he alwaysmaintained a sensitive spot for those experiencing difficulties in the financial world, no doubtas a result of the “down” times he had personally experienced himself. Often he would allowa debt to be voided, although it is said he never defaulted on one himself. At the time of death,he was owed several millions of dollars, of which his friends were able to collect about$150,000, a fairly modest amount considering the vast amounts he had won and lost on WallStreet during his many years there.

Men like Fisk, Gould, Jerome, Keep, and Little were very representative of the individuals andactivities which typified Wall Street during this period of unrestrained, unregulated (for all intentsand purposes) speculation in our nation’s history. Without a doubt, this is one of the most excit-ing and colorful chapters in our history.

The following reprinted from “Twenty Years of Inside Life in Wall Street” by Fowler.

No one who traversed Central Park in 1867 failed to remark four bay horses, standing at leastseventeen and a half hands high, bowling along on an easy trot, and drawing after them a huge“drag.” Sitting on the box, holding the reins, was a man, fashionably, but somewhat careless-ly attired, having a slight stoop, a clear olive complexion, a tigerish moustache, and a ceruleaneye. This was Leonard W. Jerome, a leader of the fashion, a prince of the turf, and lately, apotentate in the stock-market. Some men are born speculators, some achieve it, and some havespeculation thrust upon them. All these conditions may be predicated of L. W. Jerome, andwhen he left Rochester, and came into Wall Street, he found his proper niche. The head toconceive, the daring to undertake, and the nerve to persist, were his, and his confidence andbuoyancy under disaster was remarkable. Like all men of his class, he was not infrequentlytemporarily prostrated by some one of these singular hurricanes in finance, which come andpass over as suddenly as a white squall in the Southern Pacific. But no matter how swift or lowthe fall, he has invariably kept up good heart, and hailed his surviving comrades with thewords, “I am all right, boys; I’ll be with you again in a jiffy.” Under such circumstances, heinvariably met every dollar of his obligations. Once he found himself saddled with half a mil-lion of bogus Indiana bonds. He paid up in full. Another time, in the years 1867-68, he foundhimself out of pocket on Pacific Mail nearly one million dollars. Then the malignants of thestreet were crying out – “Jerome has found his Waterloo!” but in six months he picked up halfof his lost million, and made his adversaries pine with envy.

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES-PHILADELPHIAAB122. PA, 1847, Stock. Uncancelled. Issued to “Sir Robert Thomas Wilson late of Regent Street,London, M.P. (Member of Parliament) but now Governor of Gibraltar”. So historic!!! The Bank ofthe U.S. opened its doors for business on Dec. 12, 1791. In spite of the advantages of a national bank,the charter of the First Bank was not renewed in 1811, doubt as to its constitutionality being the con-trolling factor. The bank wound up its affairs. After a brief and unsatisfactory period of state bank-ing, the Second Bank of the United States was incorporated under a law of April 10, 1816. ThePresident of the United States was also authorized to appoint 5 of the 25 directors. The second bankwas badly managed under its 1st president William Jones. In 1823 Nicholas Biddle assumed the pres-idency, and from then until 1833 the bank was well managed. A dispute between Biddle andPresident Jackson led to the withdrawal of Government deposits in 1833 and a severe contraction ofthe bank’s business. The institution ceased to function as a national bank upon the expiration of itscharter in 1836. On March 1, 1836, it became “The Bank of United States of Pennsylvania” and con-tinued functioning uninterrupted. Nice Condition. Rare and Important! $850

CONFEDERATE BONDS

CONFEDERATE COTTON LOAN- £500 AB132. Jan. 29, 1863 Act, Criswell-118, Cotton Loan Bond issued in Europeby J. Henry Schroder & Co. and Emilie Erlanger & Co. Tri-valued at: 500Pounds Sterling-12,500 French Francs-20,000 pounds of cotton. A key attrac-tion of the Confederate bonds was that they were “cotton backed” and wereexchangeable into New Orleans middling cotton at a rate of six pence sterlingper pound (at a time when the going rate in England was better than twentypence per pound). The catch was that the Confederate government undertookto deliver this cotton to one of its ports only after peace had been made -- whilethe war endured delivery had to be taken inland with the would-be recipient alsohaving to run the Union blockade to get the cottonout. Signed by John Slidell, a U.S. and Confederatediplomat whose seizure with James M. Mason pre-cipitated the Trent Affair during the American CivilWar. Printed on quality heavy watermarked paper,very ornate engraved bond (the most attractive ofall Confederate issues) with Liberty holdingConfederate “Stars and Bars” leaning on bales of cotton and gazing across the sea.
