Their names are the names of legend: Morgan, Pulitzer, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and the lives they lived were the envy of the masses. Richard J. Hutto tells the story of the men and women of the Jekyll Island Club and the effect they had on the U.S. economy, on politics, arts, education, and culture—not only in their lifetimes, but in the many years since. The decisions they made over drinks in the evening while vacationing far away from the city lights affected all Americans. This fascinating account of who they were and what they did is delightful reading, entertaining while informing about a unique chapter in American history and the exclusive group of men who made it.
