Justus Griffin · Answer 1

he names Jay Gould and James Fisk Jr. are linked in American business history in the age of "robber barons." Together, they controlled the Erie Railroad, were part of the Tammany Hall set, and wrangled with J. P. Morgan over the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad ... It was about this time that his path crossed with Jay Gould.
