This is the story of Hetty Green and how she made her mark on the US in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Reading Hetty Green’s story is almost like watching Forest Gump. Her tale is more than just a look at early Wall Street: so much of American history is woven through this story, from the true impact of the Chicago Fire, the San Francisco earthquake, even how whaling ships sunk off the coast of Georgia helped to turn New York into a thriving trade center. In the midst of it all was Hetty Green, an unobtrusive but steady presence who made her impact without demanding credit.
