    About this ebook

    This short novel, originally published in the 1918 collection Gold and Iron, features the title character's struggle from poverty to becoming the greatest iron master in Pennsylvania.  A contemporary review in the New York Evening Post called it "a model of compression in both telling and portraiture."
