From Wall Street Prince to Bowery Outcast
Edward M Field once led a privileged life as Cyrus W Field’s son and Wall Street figure.

He drifted to the Bowery, found shelter at Salvation Army lodgings, and was guided toward repentance at the Hadley Rescue Mission before illness forced his return to Bellevue.
