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. Thus it was postmortem that robber barons turned into beloved philanthropists. On the morning of March 31, 1913, the New York Times announced the death of Wall Street financier, J.P.

  • Hudson River Railroad
    A Currier and Ives lithograph of the rivalry between “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt and the Daniel Drew prodigy Jim Frisk of the Erie Railroad. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS The Commodore’s Game Cornelius Vanderbilt Builds a Railroad Empire Enter into our story “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt, a financial wizard who by the time he entered into the railroad industry, had already made his fame and fortune in the cutthroat world of steamboats and steamships, where if Mother Nature didn’t try to sink you, your human competitors would. With no formal education, as a teenager Vanderbilt (born in 1794) started off in the navigation business with a sailboat ferry between Staten Island and Lower Manhattan. Becoming an early steamboat captain in 1817, by the 1830s he was an entrepreneur and stock manipulator. A competent, patient, principle, yet ruthless capitalist, famously the Commodore is apocryphally credited with saying: “You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you.” The nickname “Commodore” came from Vanderbilt’s battles with the Hudson River steamboat monopolies, his eventual dominance of steam navigation in the Long Island Sound, ownership of the Staten Island Ferry, transport of California Gold Rush passengers through Central America, and a dalliance with trans-Atlantic steamship service. Once a common nickname for steamboat line owners – the name coming from the US Navy rank for a senior captain commanding a flotilla – the moniker became synonymous with Vanderbilt. During the American Civil War, the steamship tycoon donated his large and fast 331-foot long and 3,360 tons displacement SS Vanderbilt to the Union Navy, becoming the cruiser USS Vanderbilt.

  • Death of a Robber Baron
    Death of a Robber Baron Tom Palaima Jun 27, 2011, 6:55 pm CST H.W. BRANDS’ THE MURDER OF JIM FISK FOR THE LOVE OF JOSIE MANSFIELD is the first book in Anchor Books’ American Portraits Series, which aims to provide “tightly written, vividly rendered accounts of lost or forgotten lives and crucial historical moments.” Brands, a history professor at the University of Texas at Austin and a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, gives us that. The Murder of Jim Fisk reads like a gripping crime novel. Brands also makes it work as a moral fable of the robber-baron period, delivering social and political commentary with a light touch. The first chapter describes a body being taken to a cemetery in Paris on a gray, autumn morning during the Great Depression. Who the attendees were remains a mystery. But they were the sole witnesses, besides the reporter who noted their attendance, to the lonesome burial of Josie Mansfield, the lover of gilded-age financier Jim Fisk, at ninety years of age. In the second chapter, a grand funeral procession in New York brings out crowds larger than those that celebrated the Confederate surrender seven years earlier. An eyewitness reports, “And thus passed from sight the mortal remains of one who might have been a vast power for good, had he made more use of the glorious opportunities vouchsafed him. Doubtless he had noble qualities, but they were hidden from the eyes of men, while his vices seemed to be on every man’s lips.” We later learn the remains were those of Jim Fisk.

  • The Opening of Brougham's Theatre in New York City on January 25, 1869, Mwas in All Respects Brilliant,Trl Said the Times
    MUCH ADO ABOUT JOHN BROUGHAM AND JIM FISK DAVID S . HAW E S The opening of Brougham's Theatre in New York City on January 25, 1869, Mwas in all respects brilliant,Trl said the Times. This "new home of mirth, " later described as "one of the prettiest theatres, small, but bright and brilliant, that New York had ever seen"2 was "filled in every part," and the mirror-lined theatre held nine hundred "comfortably, " one thousand with some crowding. After the first piece on the bill, Better Late Than Never, an original two-act farce written especially for the opening by John Brougham (playwright) in which John Brougham (actor) adroitly portrayed the comic Irish character, Major Fergus O'Shaughnessy, the same John Brougham (this time as lessee and theatre manager) appeared before the curtain, as he had advertised he would, to address the audience which "embraced noted politicians, judges, members of the press, and a large gathering of the theatrical profession, including many feminine faces well- known to the amusement-loving public." Brougham confided that he had intended "to have something elaborate in the way of a speech. " But his consuming responsibilities had forced him "to rely on the spontaneity of the moment. " Of course, as an old stager Brougham actually relished im­ promptu speaking and improvised acting. BroughamTs prime point was directed at a radiant spectator, James Fisk, Jr., Proprietor. Brougham said: "I desire to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to the gentleman who has made this beautiful place. About eight months ago he said to me: 'If you would like to manage a theatre, John Brougham, I will put you up in the handsomest one in New York,' and I think you will say he has kept his word.
