Re: (erielack) Fisk & Gould

Hi, List.

I'll agree with Schulyer on the Klein book. It's a really good one.

I thought that I'd mention that the movie "The Toast of New York" (1937) has characters of Jim Fisk and Daniel Drew, but not Jay
Gould.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029675/  It has Cary Grant in it, but does not give him too much to do. That is likely the reason it
was made available on VHS, back in 1991.  List price was/is $89.95, according to Amazon.com, which owns the Internet Movie Data Base
(IMDB).

A IMDB reader wrote that "the film itself was dreadfully uninteresting," which sums it up well.

If you read "Jay Gould"  by Maury Klein, published by Johns Hopkins, you can come to no other
conclusion.  Gould DID pillage the ERIE, and after that saw "the error of his ways," and began to
create wealth by building things up, rather than simple financial manipulation.
