The Boston Broker Bomber’s Attack On Wall Street

Episode 238 takes an inside look on the mad business of stock trading during the boom of the late 1800s as we hear the news of a bombing attack on an office of one of the titans of Wall Street, the second richest man in the world. The dust is barely settled when the lawsuits begin, and you’ll get a kick out of the reason why.

Culled from the pages of the New York World and other newspapers of the era.
