The book provides a personal narrative of the author's extensive experience in the financial sector, particularly within the context of Wall Street, spanning half a century from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. Clews offers insights into various financial events, market behavior, and the evolution of trading practices in this iconic financial hub, while also reflecting on significant historical happenings that influenced American finance during his career. At the start of the narrative, Clews introduces his entry into Wall Street following the panic of 1857, a crisis which fundamentally transformed financial operations in the area. He discusses the failures and market chaos that ensued, prompting the rise of a new generation of younger, more dynamic financiers. Clews recounts his own journey of securing membership on the New York Stock Exchange against substantial odds and highlights the momentous changes taking place in the realm of stock trading. His reflections set the tone for the forthcoming explorations into both his personal experiences and the broader historical and economic forces that shaped the financial landscape of America.
