Haym Salomon the unseen pillar of liberty’s finance
Haym Salomon, a Polish Jewish broker in New York and Philadelphia, financed the American cause during the Revolution. He advanced about 211,678 dollars in specie to Robert Morris, aided prisoners, endorsed government paper, and helped stave off bankruptcy after Yorktown, yet died in 1785 at forty five with his heirs later failing to obtain reimbursement.
