The Golden Flood Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by Google Books "The Golden Flood" by Edwin Lefevre is a novel written in the early 20th century. It focuses on the enigmatic character, George Kitchell Grinnell, a young man who astonishes a Wall Street bank president with his extraordinary deposits of gold, raising suspicion and awe in equal measure. The narrative delves into themes of wealth, power, and the implications of sudden financial upheaval. The opening portion introduces the characters and sets the stage for a financial mystery. Grinnell first visits the Metropolitan National Bank and deposits a substantial amount, quickly escalating his deposits to millions, which piques the curiosity of the bank president, Mr. Dawson. As Grinnell continues to deposit increasingly larger sums, Dawson becomes concerned about the source of such wealth and the potential implications for the broader financial system. The story hints at Grinnell's secretive nature and raises questions about his intentions and the dangers his wealth could pose to the economic landscape. The tension builds as Dawson feels both compelled and threatened by Grinnell's unprecedented financial presence. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 75.9 (7th grade).
