Splendid isolation: the jekyll island millionaires' club 1888-1942 - pamela bauer mueller

AN HISTORICAL NOVEL Untamed, and virtually unchanged since its discovery in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe, Jekyll Islands history unfolds with the excitement and suspense of a fairy tale.

Because so many of the worlds greatest minds and bank accounts gathered together in virtual isolation for three months each year, history was made on Jekyll Island.

A group of tycoons with surnames such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Pulitzer, Baker and others formed their exclusive Millionaires Club on this island hideaway--the richest and most inaccessible club of that time.

Between 1888 and 1942, Jekyll Island was open only to Club members families and their guests for hunting, relaxing and playing in luxurious ease.

In this sweeping historical saga, you will discover the Millionaires pastimes and deeply guarded secrets--told through the unique voices of four Club employees.

In this true story of their island getaway, discover how the decisions of these powerful titans changed the face of world finances, business and politics as they built modern America.
