5.0 out of 5 stars H L HUNT, April 3, 2008

By	Cooper's Antiques "Cooper's Antiques" (Maryville, TN) - See all my reviews

Haroldson Lafayette Hunt lived more than 85 years in a lot of places in this country. A drifter from boyhood, later to become a land speculator, a professional gambler, a small-time oil promoter before he made his first REAL MONEY. Years later, labeled "The richest man in America", he remained a poor, ignorant, stunted child of Middle America.

Hunt got his first real wealth, not by finding oil, but by finding an oil finder. He purchased out an old con man who had made the biggest oil strike in history and didn't know it. Hunt knew it and that deal turned out to be worth about $100 million.

His public life brought him in touch with such luminaries as General Douglas MacArthur and Senator Joe McCarthy. But, his insistence that he could never be wrong finally turned away every hope of real power in the real world, so he made his own world with his own law.

About the Author: Stanley H. Brown has described the public and private natures of men of power and wealth in such magazines as New York, Esquire, Life, Fortune, People, and Business Week. One famous book he authored was "Ling; the Rise, Fall and Return of a Texas Titan", which was a probing look into the mind, the doings, and the undoing of the master conglomerateur, Jim Ling of Lind-Temco-Vought.
