Morris Ketchum Jesup: A Character Sketch

""Morris Ketchum Jesup: A Character Sketch"" is a biography written by William Adams Brown that explores the life and legacy of Morris K. Jesup, an American banker and philanthropist who lived from 1830 to 1908. The book provides a detailed account of Jesup's upbringing, education, and career, tracing his rise to prominence as a successful businessman and leader in the financial industry. It also delves into Jesup's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his philanthropic activities, which included supporting scientific research, education, and the arts. Through his depiction of Jesup, Brown paints a portrait of a man who was both ambitious and compassionate, driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world around him. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American finance and philanthropy, as well as those curious about the life of one of the country's most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
