Fisk (1834-1872) was a shrewd 19th century financier who was notorious for participating in wild, often questionable investments in the stock market. As a result of his business relationship with Daniel Drew and Jay Gould in New York City, Fisk gained control of the Erie Railroad with the two gentlemen in the 1860s. Gould and Fisk also made an effort to corner the gold market, but this attempt ended with Black Friday of 1869. Although he was married, Fisk was involved in a scandalous affair with Josie Mansfield. However, she fell in love with Fisk's business associate, Edward Stokes, who eventually left his wife and family for the showgirl. After losing most of his finances and attempting to extort money from Fisk, Stokes shot and killed Big Jim in New York. He died at the age of 37.

SAMUEL C. MORTON'S 1858-1865 MANUSCRIPT LEGAL COPY BOOK

Sale Price Including Buyer's Premium: $0.00
Jan. 26, 1858 to Oct. 25, 1865. 263 pre-numbered pages filled (about half of the copybook). Blotter paper and four oiled sheets still present. Mostly related to real estate transactions and some mentions of railroads. Morton was a consultant on rail issues. A search turns up the Report of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, in relation to the Delaware Rail Road, and its connection the commercial interests of Philadelphia,... April 3rd, 1856, by the Philadelphia Board of Trade Committee on Inland Transportation. One of the members of the committee listed is Samuel C. Morton.

There are a few passing mentions of the times, such as a letter of April 15, 1861: Our community is much excited at the surrender of Fort Sumpter [sic], and a Civil War seems now inevitable, as we have at the north, lone enough, tolerant. A second letter the same day expands: The President has issued a Proclamation calling for 75,000 troops, other contest has now fairly begun as to the result I have no doubt.

Interestingly, there does not seem to be any direct mention of Gettysburg, but 10 July Morton writes: 'ere this you will have heard of the fall of Vicksburg - the rebels are not yet driven over the Potomac, hard fighting may be looked for. Then by the end of the month (31 July): I expect to leave home this day week for a residence of two months in Montrose, Susquehanna County, Penna. The drafting has been going on for some days, very quickly in this City, and the worst Wards have been gone through without disturbance. Philadelphia, and many large cities, feared the kind of riots that were triggered by word of the draft in New York. Pennsylvania apparently learned from New York's experience, and squelched any discontent before it could erupt into violence.

For an apparently prominent citizen of the city of Philadelphia, Morton is difficult to track down. He was president of the American Fire Insurance Company from 1847 to 1857. The Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Vol. 19, 1867 reports that at the meeting of Apr. 23, the death of Samuel C. Morton, one of their members, was announced. Date and place of birth, however, is unknown, since there are a number of Samuel Mortons in Philadelphia during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Sale Price Including Buyer's Premium: $0.00

Born in Connecticut, Meigs (1740-1823) gained initial fame during the Revolutionary War advancing to the rank of Colonel in the Continental Army. He accompanied Arnold's forces to Canada, and was captured during the assault on Quebec. Released in 1777, he led a surprise raid on the British fleet at Sag Harbor, NY, for which he was awarded a sword by the U.S. Congress. After the War he went West, and served as the surveyor for the Ohio Company, was one of the founders of Marietta, Ohio, and helped draw up a civil code that was used until the formal founding of the Northwest Territory.

In 1801, Meigs moved to Tennessee to become the Agent to the Cherokee Nation. From his post at Hiawasse, he was a firm advocate of their rights and encouraged the Cherokee to form a republican government.

Sophia Meigs (née Wright) was the wife of Return Jonathan Meigs (1764-1824) son of the deceased Meigs for whom this sheet was printed. Joseph Kelley is listed in the 1820 census as a Marietta resident. A scarce sheet.
