This is the 1901 investment masterpiece from the bestselling author of "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". The rarest and most-prized work published by Edwin Lefevre, "Wall Street Stories" is a delightful literary romp through the habits and customs of 19th century Wall Street. Now, this timeless work is being reissued in a fantastically lush new edition befitting this masterwork. In his distinctive and humorous style, Lefevre gives us a glimpse into the gilded age of Wall Street through fictional characters who are actually thinly veiled portraits of well-known investing personalities, such as James R. Keene, Elverton R. Chapman, Roswell Pettibone Flower, and Daniel Drew. With this republished edition, all those who read Lefevre's "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (Wiley, 2006) will be introduced to the work that launched Lefevre's literary career.
