"Pirate's Gold" is story of a great American fortune, a man with
the Midas touch, and his descendants who inherited more money than
was good for them. A small-town boy from Massachusetts, Henry
Huttleston "Hell-Hound" Rogers helped build Standard Oil into the
world's largest oil company, gaining renown as a notorious Wall
Street "pirate." After he died, his children inherited
$49,000,000--billions in today's money. None of his descendants
lived so large as Rogers' son, Colonel Henry Rogers Jr., and his
two children, Millicent and Harry. During the 1920s, the public was
fascinated by the saga of Millicent's ill-fated marriage to Count
Salm, the Austrian tennis champion with matinee idol good looks. In
the 1930s Harry's involvement in the death of an actress at a
drunken party was front page news in every city in the country.
"Pirate's Gold" looks beneath the headlines to uncover the roots of
these stories: the struggles over money and love, and the
difficulties of living up to one's famous family name.
