WINNER of the New York Book Show Award "The life of Henry Clay Frick -- industrialist, coke magnate and, later, Andrew Carnegie's partner in the steel business -- is fascinatingly chronicled in this volume by his great-granddaughter Martha Frick Symington Sanger. In taking a decidedly psychological approach to her subject, Ms. Sanger may have explained a mystery that has perplexed Frick's past biographers: What motivated one of the most notorious of the turn-of-the-century robber barons to begin collecting paintings and other artwork so assiduously?" --Vartan Gregorian for The Opinion Journal, The life of Henry Clay Frick -- industrialist, coke magnate and, later, Andrew Carnegie's partner in the steel business -- is fascinatingly chronicled in this volume by his great-granddaughter Martha Frick Symington Sanger.
