schooling opportunities were the best
He graduated from the Boston high
school and was, student in the Uni

London house of Morgan & Peabody.
Going to New York at the age of
80, he fought both Gould and Fisk for
the possession of the Albany & Sus-
quehanna railroad and beat those old
Napoleons of finance at their own
game. In 1871 he became a member
of the banking firm of Drexel, Morgan
