WE SEE THE DAUNTLESS ALEXANDER LEGGE BATTLE WITH HOOVER MILLIONS TO STEM THE ONRUSH OF ECONOMIC RUIN. THROUGH THE PAGES STRUT SUCH ALMOST LEGENDARY FIGURES AS BET-A-MILLION GATES , JOE LEITER, AND DOC CRAWFORD...CONTRASTED BY THE CALM CAPITALIST SPECULATORS, PATTEN AND CUTTEN, AND THE DARING GENIUSES, HOWELL, LIVERMORE AND OTHERS.

HERE IS VIVID HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY WITH THE SWEEP OF FICTION - DRAMATIC TALES FROM LA SALLE STREET, THE WESTERN POWERHOUSE OF FINANCE, THE STREET OF ADVENTURE."

FIVE YEARS AFTER PUBLISHING STREET OF ADVENTURE EDWARD JEROME DIES WENT ON TO WRITE THE PREFACE FOR JESSE LIVERMORE'S HOW TO TRADE IN STOCKS. LATER HE WROTE BEHIND THE WALL STREET CURTAIN , THE PLUNGER AND THE TALE OF THE WHEAT PIT.

OVERALL A GREAT COPY OF AN EXTREMELY RARE BOOK -

A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.

WE ACQUIRED THIS A FEW YEARS AGO AT A LOCAL ESTATE SALE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE REALIZED HOW RARE IT IS AND SENT SOME PHOTOS TO ONE OF THE LEADING AUCTION HOUSES. THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BY INVESTMENT BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT. ASKING PRICE IS A FRACTION OF RETAIL POTENTIAL.

DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.

YOU MAY NEVER FIND A COPY OF THIS GREAT BOOK, IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE,

WITH THE ORIGINAL DUST JACKET !
