[Michlib-l] `Greed in the Gilded Age' with author, William Hazelgrove: May 24th, 6pm ~ Zoom Program

[Amy Abele]

Please share with your library staff and community!

You are invited to join the Bridgman Public Library as we welcome *author
William Hazelgrove **on Tuesday, May 24th at 6:00pm via Zoom.  Hazelgrove
will talk about his book `Greed in the Gilded Age.'*

*Book Summary:*
*She came from nothing and had no education. But she managed to face down
the richest man in the world in open court, live like a queen, and take
down a banking system. Her name was Cassie Chadwick and by claiming to be
Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter she led a life of luxury only to be
caught and put on trial in the Trial of the Century – a trial so engrossing
it eclipsed the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt.*

*This Gatsby-like tale includes mystery, money, sex, and scandal.
‘Millionaire’ was a new term in America and Cassie Chadwick was front page
news. Using these newspaper articles, Hazelgrove tells the story of one of
the greatest cons in American history.*
