A Remarkable History of Wealth to Ruin in a City Family
An 19th century tale details Daniel Ostler a Baltimore planter whose fortune collapses after the Civil War. His daughter’s death and a rebel raid devastate his estate, sending Ostler and his son Jacob into poverty, migration to Minnesota, and eventual service at a hotel in Chicago where a former society leader is recognized as a penniless waiter.
