Jay Gould - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Jay Gould from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 3/25/2015 Jay Gould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jay Gould From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jason "Jay" Gould (May 27, 1836 – December 2, 1892) was a leading American railroad developer and Jay Gould speculator. He was long vilified as an archetypal robber baron,[2] whose success at business made him the ninth richest U.S. citizen in history,[3] though modern historians working from primary sources have discounted his portrayal by the contemporary press.[4][5] Condé Nast Portfolio ranked Gould as the 8th worst American CEO of all time.[6] Contents 1 Early life and education 2 Early career 3 Railroad investing 4 Tweed Ring Born Jason Gould 5 Black Friday May 27, 1836 [1] 6 Lord Gordon-Gordon Roxbury, New York, U.S. 7 Peak career Died December 2, 1892 (aged 56) New York, New York, U.S. 8 Personal life Occupation Financier 8.1 Marriage 9 Death Spouse(s) Helen Day Miller (1838– 1889) (m. 1863–89) 10 Legacy Children George Jay Gould I · Edwin Gould I · 10.1 Dramatic representations Helen Gould · Howard Gould · Anna 11 See also Gould · Frank Jay Gould 12 Notes Parent(s) John Burr Gould (1792–1866) 13 Further reading Mary More Gould (1798–1841) 14 External links Early life and education Jason Gould was born in Roxbury, New York to Mary More (1798–1841) and John Burr Gould (1792– 1866). His maternal grandfather, Alexander T. More, was a businessman, and his great-grandfather John More was a Scottish immigrant who founded the town of Moresville, New York. Jay Gould studied at local schools and the Hobart Academy in Hobart, Delaware County, New York.[7] Early career http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould 1/12 3/25/2015 Jay Gould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His principal was credited as getting him a job working as a bookkeeper for a blacksmith.[8] A year later the blacksmith offered him half interest in the blacksmith shop, which he sold to his father during the early part of 1854. Gould devoted himself to private study, emphasizing surveying and mathematics. In 1854, Gould surveyed and created maps of the Ulster County, New York area. In 1856 he published History of Delaware County, and Border Wars of New York, which he had spent several years writing.[9] In 1856, Gould entered a partnership with Zadock Pratt [8] to create a tanning business in Pennsylvania in what would become Gouldsboro. Eventually, he bought out Pratt, who retired. In 1856, Gould entered another partnership with Charles Mortimer Leupp, a son-in-law of Gideon Lee, and one of the leading leather Jay Gould (right) in 1855 merchants in the United States at the time. Leupp and Gould was a successful partnership until the Panic of 1857. Leupp lost all his money, while Gould took advantage of the opportunity of the depreciation of property value and bought up former partnership properties for himself.[8] After the death of Charles Leupp, the Gouldsboro Tannery became a disputed property. Leupp's brother- in-law, David W. Lee, who was also a partner in Leupp and Gould, took armed control of the tannery. He believed that Gould had cheated the Leupp and Lee families in the collapse of the business. Eventually, Gould took physical possession, but was [10] later forced to sell his shares in the company to Lee's brother. Keystone Marker for Gouldsboro, named after Jay Gould. Railroad investing In 1859 Gould began speculative investing by buying stock in small railways. Gould's father-in-law Daniel S. Miller was credited with introducing the younger man to the railroad industry, when he suggested that Gould help him save his investment in the Rutland and Washington Railroad in the Panic of 1857. Gould purchased stock for 10 cents on the dollar, which left him in control of the company.[11] Through the Civil War era, he did more speculation on railroad stocks in New York City. In 1863 he was appointed manager of the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad. The Erie Railroad encountered financial troubles in the 1850s, despite receiving loans from financiers Cornelius Vanderbilt and Daniel Drew. The Erie entered receivership in 1859 and was reorganized as the Erie Railway. Jay Gould, Drew and James Fisk engaged in stock manipulations known as the Erie War, with the result that in the summer of 1868 Drew, Fisk, and Vanderbilt lost control of the Erie, while Gould became its president. Tweed Ring It was during the same period that Gould and Fisk became involved with Tammany Hall, the New York City political ring. They made Boss Tweed a director of the Erie Railroad, and Tweed, in return, arranged favorable legislation for them. Tweed and Gould became the subjects of political cartoons by Thomas Nast in 1869. In October 1871, when Tweed was held on $1 million bail, Gould was the chief bondsman.[12] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould 2/12 3/25/2015 Jay Gould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Black Friday In August 1869, Gould and Fisk began to buy gold in an attempt to corner the market, hoping that the increase in the price of gold would increase the price of wheat such that western farmers would sell, causing a great amount of shipping of bread stuffs eastward, increasing freight business for the Erie railroad. During this time, Gould used contacts with President Ulysses S. Grant's brother-in-law, Abel Corbin, to try to influence the president and his Secretary General Horace Porter. These speculations in gold culminated in the panic of Black Friday, on September 24, 1869, when the premium over face value on a gold Double Eagle fell from 62 percent to 35 percent. Gould made a small profit from this operation, but lost it to subsequent lawsuits. The gold corner established Gould's reputation in the press as an all- powerful figure who could drive the market up and down at will. Lord Gordon-Gordon In 1873 Gould attempted to take control of the Erie Railroad by recruiting foreign investments from Lord Gordon-Gordon, whom he believed was a cousin of the wealthy Campbells looking to buy land for immigrants. He bribed Gordon-Gordon with $1 million in stock. But Gordon-Gordon was an impostor and cashed the stock immediately. Gould sued Gordon-Gordon; the case went to trial in March 1873. In court, Gordon-Gordon gave the names of the Europeans whom he claimed to represent, and was granted bail while the references were checked. He fled to Canada, where he convinced authorities that the charges against him were false.[13][14] After failing to convince or force Canadian authorities to hand over Gordon-Gordon, Gould and his associates, which included two future governors of Minnesota and three future members of Congress (Loren Fletcher, John Gilfillan, and Eugene McLanahan Wilson) attempted to kidnap him. The group snatched him Lord Gordon-Gordon successfully, but they were stopped and arrested by the North- West Mounted Police before they could return to the United States. The kidnappers were put in prison and refused bail.[13][14] This led to an international incident between the United States and Canada. Upon learning that the kidnappers were not given bail, Governor Horace Austin of Minnesota demanded their return; he put the local militia on a state of full readiness. Thousands of Minnesotans volunteered for a full military invasion of Canada. After negotiations, the Canadian authorities released the kidnappers on bail.[13][14] The incident resulted in Gould losing any possibility of taking control of Erie Railroad. Peak career After being forced out of the Erie Railroad, in his 40s Gould started to build up a system of railroads in the Midwest and West. Beginning in 1879, he gained control of four western railroads, including the Union Pacific, which had completed part of the Transcontinental Railroad, and the Missouri Pacific Railroad. By 1880, he controlled 10,000 miles (16,000 km) of railway, about one-ninth of the length of rail in the United States at that time, and, by 1882, he had controlling interest in 15 percent of the country's tracks. Because the railroads were making enormous profits and had control of rate setting, his wealth increased dramatically. When Gould withdrew from management of the Union Pacific in 1883 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould 3/12 3/25/2015 Jay Gould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia amidst political controversy over its debts to the federal government, he realized a large profit for himself. He obtained a controlling interest in the Western Union telegraph company, and, after 1881, in the elevated railways in New York City. From 1868 to 1888, Gould was connected with many of the largest railway financial operations in the United States. During the Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886, he hired strikebreakers. According to trade unionists, he said at the time, "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."[15] Personal life Jay Gould timeline 1836 Birth of Jay Gould as Jason Gould 1841 Death of Mary Moore Gould, mother 1850 Jay Gould in US census in Roxbury, New York 1856 Publication of History of Delaware County 1863 Marriage to Helen Day Miller (1838–1889) 1864 Birth of George Jay Gould I, his son Cartoon depicting Wall Street as "Jay 1866 Death of John Burr Gould, his father Gould's Private Bowling Alley" 1866 Birth of Edwin Gould, his son 1868 Birth of Helen Gould, his daughter 1869 Black Friday 1870 Jay Gould in US census in first Manhattan home 1870 Jay Gould in US census in second Manhattan home 1871 Birth of Howard Gould, his son 1875 Birth of Anna Gould, his daughter 1877 Birth of Frank Gould, his son 1880 Purchase of Lyndehurst from the widow of George Merritt, shortening name to Lyndhurst 1880 Jay Gould in US census in Greenburgh, New York 1889 Death of Helen Day Miller, his wife 1892 Obituary of Jay Gould Gould was a member of West Presbyterian Church at 31 West 42nd Street.

  • 2 Silver Squelchers and Their Interesting Associates!
    #2 SILVER SQUELCHERS AND THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES! Presented September 2014 by Charles Savoie “…THE CLANS WHOSE SELFISH ACTIVITIES HAVE TORMENTED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS---THE MEMBERS OF THE POWER MINDED UPPER RULING CLASS THAT SEE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS. EVERY REPRESSIVE AND FASCIST TREND IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE TRACED ON THE RECORD IN SOME WAY, TO THIS RULING CLASS.” ---pages 484 and 513, “America’s 60 Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937. There is no evidence that Lundberg was aware of The Pilgrims Society. Continuing with number 2 in this series, as we progress towards the present, we will consider another 15 Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1914 rosters. Unavoidably we will mention others significantly connected to them. Not all members of this nearly unknown organization have been, or are, precious metals suppressors. The organization is concerned with many other spheres---medicine, science, diplomacy, the military and war industries, insurance giants, universities, big media, and far more. This group remains present at this moment behind the scenes and traces to conspirators active in the Crime of ’73, the Panics of 1857 and 1837, both United States Banks, and much more. It can be anticipated that as they were in earlier times the source of precious metals price and monetary suppression, that the ringleaders in this arena today are also members. That’s why it’s important to maintain pressure on them to post rosters to public view. None of the nine rosters from bygone years were voluntarily released. 1) Henry Clews (1836-1923) is described by Wikipedia as having cofounded in 1859 “Livermore, Clews & Company, then the second largest marketer of Federal bonds during the Civil War.” In 1877 he was the principal in Clews & Company.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

First and foremost, I am tremendously fortunate to have been guided by my mentors Thomas Adam at the University of Texas at Arlington and Pilar Gonzáles Bernaldo at l’Université Paris Diderot. The depth of their knowledge is matched by few, and I thank them for challenging me, encouraging me, and for keeping me intellectually grounded as I struggled to keep one foot on each side of the Atlantic. I also owe immeasurable appreciation to the other members of my committee and outside reviewers: Steven Reinhardt, Mark Meigs, Kenyon Zimmer, and Pierre-Yves Saunier. Their thoughtful feedback and encouragement continues to be invaluable. For their precise and friendly guidance during my fellowship there, I thank the kind and helpful staff at the New York Public Library. For reading and commenting on earlier conference and workshop papers, I thank Dirk Hoerder, Susan Ball, Mirna Safi, Hélène le Dantec-Lowry, Evelyne Payen, Beate Collet, Thomas Wolfe, and especially Timm Beichelt, whose encouragement to rethink my overarching question proved far more valuable than I acknowledged at the time.

His influence reached its height with his relentless caricatures of Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall Ring in New York City. In 1871, the Nation, edited by E.L. Godkin, proclaimed: “Mr. Nast has carried political illustrations during the last six months to a pitch of excellence never before attained in this country, and has secured for them an influence on opinion such as they never came near having in any country.”1 Nast contributed to American political and cultural iconography in many ways.

    THE POWER OF THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE PUBLIC SOUL OF THE GILDED AGE ________________________________________________ Renee Tabizon Before Broadway, silent film, and talkies, celebrity status began with the American Press and their ability to publicize the lives of elite men of finance and industry. Daily news- paper articles and telegraph wires reported their activities, business affairs, leisure time, and travels. Some newspapers criticized that these tycoons were held in excessively high regard, as if they were royalty or other dignitaries.1 How- ever, most popular mainstream presses frequently featured photos of Gilded Age men with their families and homes, glamorizing their extravagant lifestyles and wealth.2 In ad- dition to images, the popular press also cited famous aca- demics such as President Woodrow Wilson, who was quot- ed referring to finance men as celebrities.3 The most fasci- 1 “Jay Gould Resting,” The Kansas Agitator, August 11, 1891. 2 “Lakewood’s Lincoln Day: Hotels and Cottages Thronged with Holi- day Visitors,” New York Times, February 14, 1904. 3 “Dr. Woodrow Wilson Defines Material Issues; Scathing Arraignment of Political and Industrial control over “new issues of securities, its occupation of places on corporate boards of directors, and its Condi- tions Which have Made Possible the Recent Panic in Financial Circles. 88 Perspectives nating aspect of American media coverage during the turn of the twentieth century is that it bestowed celebrity status upon some of the most prominent men of the Gilded Age often only after these men died.
