Gates and Fisk Compared in Wealth and Worldly Style
The Gates family and James Fisk are contrasted for their rapid rise in rail and industrial ventures through barbed wire and wire mills. John W. Gates started as a hardware dealer and built vast wealth via speculation and monopolies, with his son Charles joining in. Despite heavy losses at times, both pursued grand schemes and philanthropy, with much wealth now held by female kin and non-family heirs, while the peak era of their bravado fades.
