Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 11
Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Businessmen
Elbert Hubbard, founder of the Roycroft community in East Aurora, New York, wrote his Little Journeys as monthly biographical sketches, and this volume is devoted to great businessmen. It visits Robert Owen, the reforming mill owner of New Lanark; James Oliver, the plow maker; Stephen Girard, the Philadelphia merchant and banker; Mayer Amschel Rothschild; Philip D. Armour, the meatpacker; John Jacob Astor; Peter Cooper; Andrew Carnegie; the philanthropist George Peabody; A. T. Stewart, the department store pioneer; H. H. Rogers of Standard Oil; and James J. Hill, the railroad builder. Hubbard writes in an aphoristic, opinionated style, as interested in character and his own philosophy of work as in the facts of each life. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
