Men Who Are Making America

The last century belonged to the Eastern half of the country. Will the coming century belong to the West? If the men here written about have been able to accomplish what they have accomplished with little or no initial financial resources, what could be achieved by keen-visioned capitalists able to command managerial brains of the highest caliber? Found within are essays about such men as: Herbert Fleishhacker, John B. Miller, Elbridge Amos Stuart, Edward L. Doheny, Kenneth R. Kingsbury, Wigginton Ellis Creed, Charles L. Anceney, Robert Dollar, Amadeo P. Giannini, John D. Ryan, Paul Shoup, Henry M. Robinson, Moritz Thomsen, and Harry W. Child, the men who made the West. Illustrated.
