He also left behind a reputation as one of Wall Street's most shrewd, astute, and (some said) manipulative operators. Long before his adventures in finance, the future \"robber baron\" was a young man on the make in his native Catskills, working as a surveyor and mapmaker in his natal place of Delaware County, where he had grown up side by side with the future writer and naturalist John Burroughs. Originally published in 1856, when Gould was just twenty, Gould's \u003ci\u003eHistory of Delaware County and Border Wars of New York\u003c\/i\u003e is based on primary sources and original testimony from second and third generation settlers, many of them Gould's own friends and cousins. The book continues to be an important source on the first settlement of the region and is highly regarded by scholars. This edition features a new introduction by Edward Renehan, the biographer of both Gould and John Burroughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Gould\u003c\/b\u003e began his career as a surveyor in his native Delaware County before becoming a notorious and wealthy investor. \u003cb\u003eEdward Renehan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eDark Genius of Wall Street: The Misunderstood Life of Jay Gould, King of the Robber Barons\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648287629414,"sku":"9781438485409","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/OTRBczZkdWgySmRZSU13N3NuNGVhdz09.webp?v=1779504638","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/history-of-delaware-county-and-border-wars-of-new-york-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
