About this title: Meyer Guggenheim, a Swiss immigrant, founded a great American business dynasty. At their peak in the early twentieth century, the Guggenheims, as a family, were reckoned among America's wealthiest, and the richest Jewish family in the world after the Rothschilds. They belonged to Our Crowd, that tight social circles of New York Jewish plutocrats, but unlike the others-primarily merchants and financiers-they made their money by extracting and refining copper, silver, lead, tin, and gold. The secret of their success, the patriarch believed, was their unity, and in the early years Meyer's seven ...

"Wow, an exhaustingly thourough book on the family that aided in making this country what it is for good and evil. Typical biography of how this family rose to be one of the biggest richest families in this country. This tells of the Mining and shipping that made them wealthy, and how it helped and hurt the people around them. The book delves into the whole family, , from the Art lovers, to the politicians and philanderers. It's a big fat book, and will take sometime to read, some nice family pictures."
"I can't say I finished it...but it did satisfy my craving for wanting to know more about the Guggenheims. They really were a self built family back at the turn of the century - but as the children were 'born into wealth'....the book got fairly disappointing for me and may be why I still have not finished this book!"
