A sweeping Gilded Age saga of ambition, gold, and the sea - tracing the Maxwell family's rise through America's most transformative decades.
In the gilded decades after the Civil War, the Maxwell family rose from modest roots to the heights of American power. Canal Gold follows J. Rogers Maxwell-entrepreneur, yachtsman, and visionary-as he navigates the treacherous currents of the Gilded Age: the Gold Panic of 1869, the financial devastation of 1873, the ruthless competition of the coal and railroad industries, and the social grandeur of New York Yacht Club racing on Long Island Sound. Based on the true history of the Maxwell family of Glen Cove, Long Island, author David B. Maxwell-J. Rogers' great-grandson-brings intimate knowledge and meticulous research to this sweeping saga. Part family chronicle, part American epic, Canal Gold reveals how ambition, character, and a touch of fortune built one of the Gilded Age's most remarkable dynasties.
