Whitewash,
By Alan Venable "Author/creator of 'Dr. Peanut'... (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henry Clay Frick - The Man (Paperback)
As an honest biography of the industrialist, you can pretty much skip this one. This book was commissioned by the family, I believe, and published under their control, so you won't read much in it but veneration for Papa. Frick's daughter famously prevented any real biography from being written about him until well after her death some years ago, and I guess a lot of the real information was simply destroyed before that book could be written. But maybe the one that came out in 1998 has more of the real skinny on this sometimes awesome, sometimes just ugly major figure in the rise of the coal and steel industries in the late 19th century.
