Prince of Darkness

Historian Shane White reveals the larger than life story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, a man who defied every convention of his time. From lowly origins, by 1877 he was reportedly the richest coloured man in the US. He wheeled and dealed in the lily white business world, married a white woman, bought a mansion in rural New Jersey, owned railroad stock on trains he was not legally allowed to ride, and generally set his white contemporaries teeth on edge when he wasn't just plain outsmarting them, as this vivid biography reveals.
