Description

The Life and Times of America's First Tycoon. French sea captain Stephen Girard was down on his luck when he sailed into the port of Philadelphia in 1776; at the time of his death in 1831 he was the country's wealthiest citizen, and had played a decisive behind-the-scenes role in the life of the young nation.
