Jay Cooke's Gamble
The Northern Pacific Railroad, the Sioux, and the Panic of 1873
In 1869, Jay Cooke, the idiosyncratic American banker, decided to finance the Northern Pacific, a transcontinental railroad. M. John Lubetkin tells how Cooke's gamble reignited war with the Sioux, rescued Custer from obscurity, created Yellowstone Park, pushed frontier settlement four hundred miles west, and triggered the Panic of 1873.
