The Phantom of Elmwood Bank Emerges as a Fraud
An early American town tale follows Hiram Elmwood who becomes a bank director and leans into rapid growth, paper wealth, and risky schemes. Ellen Edgar, daughter of Mr. Edgar, resists and then marries amid social pressure, while Elmwood builds a marble home and expands operations. The saga tracks credit excess, questionable loans, and the rise of a new money broker era, ending with Elmwood’s dominance in a perilous financial storm.
