Volume 1 of 2. These volumes represent the biographical account of
Jacob H. Schiff, the American banker and philanthropist. Written by
a very close acquaintance of Schiff, this account of his life is as
close to an autobiography as can be without his writing it himself.
Schiff was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb and Company, later becoming the
head of the firm. He was known for his role with E.H. Harriman
against J.P. Morgan and Company and J.J. Hill in the struggle for
control of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which later led to the
stock market panic of May 9, 1901. His philanthropies included
establishing a Semitic Museum at Harvard University, a chair for
the study of German culture at Cornell, as well as various
hospitals and schools of higher education.
