Genealogy of American Finance
Author: Robert E. Wright
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231539215
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
In this unique, well-illustrated book, readers learn how fifty financial corporations came to dominate the U.S. banking system and their impact on the nation's political, social, and economic growth. A story that spans more than two centuries of war, crisis, and opportunity, this account reminds readers that American banking was never a fixed enterprise but has evolved in tandem with the country. More than 225 years have passed since Alexander Hamilton created one of the nation's first commercial banks. Over time, these institutions have changed hands, names, and locations, reflecting a wave of mergers, acquisitions, and other restructuring efforts that echo changes in American finance. Some names, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, will be familiar to readers. The origins of others, including Zions Bancorporation, founded by Brigham Young and owned by the Mormon Church until 1960, are surprising. Exploring why some banks failed and others thrived, this book wonders, in light of the 2008 financial crisis, whether recent consolidations have reached or even exceeded economically rational limits. A key text for navigating the complex terrain of American finance, this volume draws a fascinating family tree for projecting the financial future of a nation.

Biographical History of Robert Randall and His Descendants

Pages : 271
Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical History of Robert Randall and His Descendants: 1608 1909 The compiler of this Genealogical History has sometimes been asked why he undertook this laborious task, - a work which, if faithfully done, involves great labor and is of very uncertain financial issue. His answer is that in writing the History of Easton, Mass., he became interested in this kind of work, not as a vocation, but as an avocation, and he selected the Randall family because it was the largest and one of the most important families of the town in its earlier days. Robert Randall, the immigrant ancestor of the Easton Randalls, settled in Weymouth, Mass., about 1635, a man of comparatively large means. His grandsons, Thomas, Samuel, Israel, and Ephraim, in 1694, settled in Taunton North Purchase, the eastern part of which became the town of Easton in 1725. They were a prolific race and for nearly a century their descendants, in point of numbers, were the leading family in town. One of the several Randall coats of arms bears for its motto the legend, "Nil extra numerum," which may be translated, "Nothing except numbers," a legend which, instead of the boastful assertion of invincible valor, extraordinary services to king and country, royal origin or exceptional antiquity, only makes the modest claim of being a numerous family, a claim fully justified by the Robert line. The coat of arms here alluded to consists of a shield surmounted by the head of an antelope holding in its mouth a floral spray and a scroll below the shield, but the writer emphatically disclaims the pretension that it belongs distinctly to this family; at present it is only known to be one of the Randall coats of arms. Very few Randalls left the town of Easton for nearly a hundred years. After the Revolutionary war there was, however, quite a migration, many settling in the State of Maine and in western Massachusetts, some of them receiving grants of land for military services.
