American Rascal - Presentation Book Signing May 3

DELHI — Join the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) on Saturday May 3 at 2pm for Greg Steinmetz’ presentation based on his 2022 biography of Roxbury’s Jay Gould, American Rascal: How Jay Gould Built Wall Street’s Biggest Fortune. Gould was one of the greatest 19th-century robber barons. His brilliance, greed, and bare-knuckled tactics made him richer than Rockefeller and led Wall Street to institute its first financial reforms. Greg will also be available to sign copies of his book.

Greg Steinmetz grew up outside Cleveland, graduated from Colgate and has a master’s in journalism from Northwestern. He spent 15 years as a newspaper reporter and editor before finishing up as the London Bureau Chief of the Wall Street Journal. In 2001, he switched careers and became an analyst and a partner at the New York money management firm of Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb. American Rascal: How Jay Gould Built Wall Street’s Biggest Fortune was hailed by Fortune magazine as “gripping.”

Admission to the presentation is free and open to the public.

DCHA is located at 46549 State Highway 10 in Delhi.
