A Gilded Age Saga of Family, Money, and (Maybe) Murder

 

Pirate's Gold is the story of an American fortune, a Gilded Age Robber Baron, and his descendants who inherited more money than was good for them. Henry Huttleston "Hell-Hound" Rogers helped found Standard Oil, gaining a renown as a notorious Wall Street "pirate." His children inherited $49,000,000. Pirate's Gold looks beneath the tabloid headlines to uncover the lives of his son, Colonel H. H. Rogers Jr., and grandchildren Millicent and Harry. Their struggles over money, love, and control left a trail of heartbreak and tragedy in their wake, begging the question: Was it all worth it?
