CLEWS (Henry).

Twenty-Eight Years in Wall Street.

Inscribed by the author in black ink to the front flyleaf: ‘R. R. Goodell with the compliments of Henry Clews July. 26. 90.’

A classic memoir by the veteran stock broker and presidential financial advisor Henry Clews (1834-1923), one of the best accounts of the Robber Baron era.

“Of the very few biographies or memoirs which have come from the pens of Wall Street, only one requires comment. Henry Clews, first in Twenty-Eight Years in Wall Street, and later in his enlarged Fifty Years in Wall Street, has given us an interesting, if not well-organised account of his activities and associations. Most of the volume is taken up with his own work, but that part which is not is well worth reading as a first hand story of some of Wall Street’s high-lights” (Warshow, The Story of Wall Street).
