A fascinating read on a monumental figure

I live in the Philadelphia area where many places bear Girard's name, and never knew who Stephen Girard is - I'm betting 99% of people don't. I don't want to spoil the read, but suffice it to say I am amazed he is not a household name like his peers Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, ... Girard was an interesting man! The author does an fine job of conveying the life and character of the man, and I would highly recomend this book to anyone who appreciates bipgraphies.
