AN HISTORICAL NOVEL
Untamed, and virtually unchanged since its discovery in 1733 by General
James Oglethorpe, Jekyll Island's history unfolds with the excitement
and suspense of a fairy tale. Because so many of the world's 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.
