* Terhune, Albert Payson. Caleb Conover, railroader, il. 50c. Authors & newspapers assn.
7–11205.
“Vastly more obscure and poor than the Corsican, and in addition illiterate, Caleb Conover has become by the masterful force of his natural endowment a ‘Napoleon of finance.’... And it is with his career as an imperious, despotic and unspeakably corrupt political boss that Mr. Terhune chiefly concerns himself—tho the militant railway as a basis and bulwark of Conover’s empire is kept constantly in sight.”—Ind.

“This book is one of the strongest studies ever made of the American ‘Big boss,’ and from beginning to end is increasingly clever and interesting.”
