A New York letter to the Philadelphia Dimes highlights leading Southern figures who rose from modest origins to great wealth in Gotham. John Itman Inman led a $10,000,000 cotton business with profits around $350,000 to $400,000, while W. H. Inman and C. C. Baldwin hold multi-million fortunes. H. Victor Newcomb is credited with about $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 and ties to the Mexican railway scheme. R. T. Wilson controls about 2,000 miles of Southern railroads with a $3,000,000 wealth, V. K. Stevenson is worth over $2,000,000, and Addison G. Cammock has amassed three to five millions after starting with about $200,000. The piece also mentions Thomas W. Evans and Addison G. Cammock’s ventures, plus the witty Wall Street figure W. R. Travers and his influence. The narrative paints a portrait of Southern influence in New York’s finance and industry.
