An uneducated farm boy from Putnam County, New York, he became in turn a successful cattle drover, a circus clown, tavern keeper, a shrewd Hudson River steamboat operator, and an unscrupulous speculator. As the colorful ""Uncle Daniel"" of Wall Street-his whiskered face seamed with wrinkles and twinkling with steel-gray eyes -- time and again he disrupted the financial markets with manipulations whereby he either won or lost millions of dollars.Capitalists and financiersUnited StatesBiographyWall Street (New York, N.Y.)HistoryCapitalists and financiers332/.092/4BBrowder Clifford1928-457588MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787484003321The money game in old New York3682080UNINA
