It recounts deals with Mark Woods and Frank, a $100,000 Davison check, and financier J. P. Morgan, illustrating a saga of aggressive expansion and talent management.

Woods Brothers Rise as Industrial and Agricultural Magnates

The Woods brothers expand from farming into a vast empire including real estate, insurance, mining, and a planned river and rail corridor. They own thousands of acres in Iowa and Nebraska, operate the Ogara Coal Company, and foresee a transcontinental trade network with docks on the Missouri River and a three-seam airport. The brothers court major figures from the Bell system to potential deals, arguing over antitrust legality and public utilities franchises.
