Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street's First Black Millionaire

Shane White reconstructs the extraordinary career of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, a Black financier who built a fortune in nineteenth-century New York despite relentless racism. Hamilton traded aggressively, fought his rivals in court, accumulated property, and moved through a Wall Street determined to exclude him. The biography restores a consequential and deliberately forgotten figure to the histories of American business, race, and capitalism.
