 Jay
Gould is remembered as the worst of the 19th century "Robber
Barons" - a destroyer of companies - yet as Maury Klein so ably
details, this reputation was almost wholly fabricated by the media and
bears little resemblance to a man obsessed with building a transportation
and communications empire. Klein’s book is more than about Jay Gould,
it's about the vast gulf separating all too common media generated myths
and the truth.
