John Pierpont Morgan (April 17 1837 - March 31 1913) was an American
financier, banker and art collector who dominated corporate finance and
industrial consolidation during his time. In 1892 Morgan arranged the
merger of Edison General Electric and Thompson-Houston Electric Company
to form General Electric. After financing the creation of the Federal
Steel Company he merged the Carnegie Steel Company and several other
steel and iron businesses to form the United States Steel Corporation in
1901. He is widely credited with having saved or rescued the U.S.
national economy in general-and the federal government in particular-on
two separate occasions. He bequeathed much of his large art collection
to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and to the Wadsworth
Atheneum of Hartford, Connecticut. He died in Rome, Italy, in 1913 at
the age of 75, leaving his fortune and business to his son, John
Pierpont "Jack" Morgan, Jr.

[edit] Childhood and education

J.P. Morgan was born in Hartford, Connecticut to Junius Spencer Morgan
(1814-1891) and Juliet Pierpont (1816-1884) of Boston, Massachusetts.
Pierpont, as he preferred to be known, had a varied education due in
part to interference by his father, Junius. In the fall of 1848,
Pierpont transferred to the Hartford Public School and then to the
Episcopal Academy in Cheshire (now called Cheshire Academy), boarding
with the principal. In September 1851, Morgan passed the entrance exam
for the English High School of Boston, a school specializing in
mathematics to prepare young men for careers in commerce.

In the spring of 1852, illness that was to become more common as his
life progressed struck; rheumatic fever left him in so much pain that he
could not walk. Junius booked passage for Pierpont straight away on the
ship Io, owned by Charles Dabney, to the Azores (Northern Portuguese
islands) in order for him to recover. After convalescing for almost a
year, Pierpont returned to the school in Boston to resume his studies.
After graduating, his father sent him to Bellerive, a school near the
Swiss village of Vevey. When Morgan had attained fluency in French, his
father sent him to the University of Göttingen in order to improve his
German. Attaining a passable level of German within six months, Morgan
traveled back to London via Wiesbaden, his education complete.


[edit] Career

[edit] Early years
 
J. P. Morgan in his earlier years.Morgan entered banking in 1857 at his
father's London branch, moving to New York City the next year where he
worked at the banking house of Duncan, Sherman & Company, the American
representatives of George Peabody & Company. From 1860 to 1864, as J.
Pierpont Morgan & Company, he acted as agent in New York for his
father's firm. By 1864-72, he was a member of the firm of Dabney, Morgan
& Company; in 1871, he partnered with the Drexels of Philadelphia to
form the New York firm of Drexel, Morgan & Company.

During the American Civil War, Morgan was approached to finance the
purchase of antiquated rifles being sold by the army for $3.50 each.
Morgan's partner re-machined them and sold the rifles back to the army
for $22 each. While it became a scandal, the military knew it was buying
back its own guns and Morgan never even saw the guns, acting only as a
lender.[citation needed] Morgan himself, like many wealthy persons,
avoided military service by paying $1000 for a substitute.[1]

After the 1893 death of Anthony Drexel, the firm was rechristened J. P.
Morgan & Company in 1895, and retained close ties with Drexel & Company
of Philadelphia, Morgan, Harjes & Company of Paris, and J. S. Morgan &
Company (after 1910 Morgan, Grenfell & Company), of London. By 1900, it
was one of the most powerful banking houses of the world, carrying
through many deals especially reorganizations and consolidations. Morgan
had many partners over the years, such as George W. Perkins, but
remained firmly in charge.[2]

Morgan's ascent to power was accompanied by dramatic financial battles.
He wrestled control of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad from Jay
Gould and Jim Fisk in 1869. He led the syndicate that broke the
government-financing privileges of Jay Cooke, and soon became deeply
involved in developing and financing a railroad empire by
reorganizations and consolidations in all parts of the United States.

He raised large sums in Europe, but instead of only handling the funds,
he helped the railroads reorganize and achieve greater efficiencies. He
fought against the speculators interested in speculative profits, and
built a vision of an integrated transportation system. In 1885, he
reorganized the New York, West Shore & Buffalo Railroad, leasing it to
the New York Central. In 1886, he reorganized the Philadelphia &
Reading, and in 1888 the Chesapeake & Ohio. He was heavily involved with
railroad tycoon James J. Hill and the Great Northern Railway.

After Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887, Morgan set
up conferences in 1889 and 1890 that brought together railroad
presidents in order to help the industry follow the new laws and write
agreements for the maintenance of "public, reasonable, uniform and
stable rates." The conferences were the first of their kind, and by
creating a community of interest among competing lines paved the way for
the great consolidations of the early 20th century.

Morgan's process of taking over troubled businesses to reorganize them
was known as "Morganization".[3] Morgan reorganized business structures
and management in order to return them to profitability. His reputation
as a banker and financier also helped bring interest from investors to
the businesses he took over.[4]

In 1895, at the depths of the Panic of 1893, the Federal Treasury was
nearly out of gold. President Grover Cleveland arranged for Morgan to
create a private syndicate on Wall Street to supply the U.S. Treasury
with $65 million in gold, half of it from Europe, to float a bond issue
that restored the treasury surplus of $100 million. The episode saved
the Treasury but hurt Cleveland with the agrarian wing of his Democratic
party and became an issue in the election of 1896, when banks came under
withering attack from William Jennings Bryan. Morgan and Wall Street
bankers donated heavily to Republican William McKinley, who was elected
in 1896 and reelected in 1900 on a gold standard platform.[5]

In 1902, J. P. Morgan & Co. purchased the Leyland line of Atlantic
steamships and other British lines, creating an Atlantic shipping
combine, the International Mercantile Marine Company, which eventually
became the owner of White Star Line, builder and operator of RMS
Titanic.

U.S. Steel aimed to achieve greater economies of scale, reduce
transportation and resource costs, expand product lines, and improve
distribution.[6] It was also planned to allow the United States to
compete globally with Britain and Germany. U.S. Steel's size was claimed
by Schwab and others to allow the company to pursue distant
international markets-globalization.[6] U.S. Steel was regarded as a
monopoly by critics, as the business was attempting to dominate not only
steel but also the construction of bridges, ships, railroad cars and
rails, wire, nails, and a host of other products. With U.S. Steel,
Morgan had captured two-thirds of the steel market, and Schwab was
confident that the company would soon hold a 75 percent market share.[6]
However, after 1901 the businesses' market share dropped; Schwab,
himself, played an important role in falsifying his own prediction:
finding the new company unwieldy, Schwab resigned from U.S. Steel in
1903 to form Bethlehem Steel, which became the second largest U.S.
producer on the strength of such innovations as the wide flange "H"
beam-precursor to the I-beam-widely used in construction.

 
Morgan's role in the economy was perceived as larger than the Federal
Government, a belief this political cartoon with a giant Morgan and
smaller Uncle Sam illustrates.Enemies of banking attacked Morgan for the
terms of his loan of gold to the federal government in the 1895 crisis,
for his financial resolution of the Panic of 1907, and for bringing on
the financial ills of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. In
December 1912, Morgan testified before the Pujo Committee, a
subcommittee of the House Banking and Currency committee. The committee
ultimately found that a cabal of financial leaders were abusing their
public trust to consolidate control over many industries: the partners
of J.P. Morgan & Co. along with the directors of First National and
National City Bank controlled aggregate resources of $22.245 billion.
Louis Brandeis, later a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, compared this sum to
the value of all the property in the twenty-two states west of the
Mississippi River.[7]

In 1900, Morgan financed inventor Nikola Tesla and his Wardenclyffe
Tower with $150,000 for experiments in radio. However, in 1903, when the
tower structure was near completion, it was still not yet functional due
to last-minute design changes that introduced an unintentional defect.
When Morgan wanted to know "Where can I put the meter?", Tesla had no
answer. Tesla's vision of free power did not agree with Morgan's
worldview; nor would it pay for the maintenance of the transmission
system. Construction costs eventually exceeded the money provided by
Morgan, and additional financiers were reluctant to come forth. By July
1904, Morgan (and the other investors) finally decided they would not
provide any additional financing. Morgan also advised other investors to
avoid the project.

Morgan suffered a rare business defeat in 1902 when he attempted to
enter the London Underground field. The notorious transit magnate
Charles Tyson Yerkes thwarted Morgan's effort to obtain parliamentary
authority to build an underground road that would have competed with
"Tube" lines controlled by Yerkes. Morgan called Yerkes' coup "the
greatest rascality and conspiracy I ever heard of."[8]

At the height of Morgan's career during the early 1900s, he and his
partners controlled directly and indirectly assets worth $1.3
billion.[9]


[edit] Later years

Self-conscious about his rosacea, Morgan hated being photographed.After
the death of his father in 1890, Morgan took control of J. S. Morgan &
Co (re-named Morgan, Grenfell & Company in 1910). Morgan began talks
with Charles M. Schwab, president of Carnegie Co., and businessman
Andrew Carnegie in 1900 with the intention of buying Carnegie's business
and several other steel and iron businesses to consolidate them to
create the United States Steel Corporation.[6] Carnegie agreed to sell
the business to Morgan for $480 million.[6] The deal was closed without
lawyers and without a written contract. News of the industrial
consolidation arrived to newspapers in mid-January 1901. U.S. Steel was
founded later that year and was the first billion-dollar company in the
world with an authorized capitalization of $1.4 billion.[10]


[edit] Personal life
Morgan was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church, and by 1890 was
one of its most influential leaders.

In 1861, he married Amelia Sturges,a.k.a Mimi (1835-1862). After her
death the next year, he married Frances Louisa Tracy, known as Fanny
(1842-1924) on May 31, 1865. They had four children:

John Pierpont Morgan (1867-1943), 
Louisa Pierpont Morgan (1866-1946) who married Herbert Livingston
Satterlee,[11] 
Juliet Morgan (1870-1952), and 
Anne Morgan (1873-1952). 
It is also of note that J.P. Morgan's uncle, James Lord Pierpont was a
notable composer and music director in his day. Pierpont is famous for
composing the original "Jingle Bells" in the 1850s, having originally
entitled it "One Horse Open Sleigh."[12][13]

He often had a tremendous physical effect on people; one man said that
a visit from Morgan left him feeling "as if a gale had blown through the
house."[14] Morgan was physically large with massive shoulders, piercing
eyes and a purple nose, because of a chronic skin disease, rosacea.[15]
His grotesquely deformed nose was due to a disease called rhinophyma,
which can result from rosacea. As the deformity worsens, pits, nodules,
fissures, lobulations, and pedunculation contort the nose. This
condition inspired the crude taunt "Johnny Morgan's nasal organ has a
purple hue."[16] Surgeons could have shaved away the rhinophymous growth
of sebaceous tissue during Morgan's lifetime, but as a child Morgan
suffered from infantile seizures, and it is suspected[by whom?] that he
did not seek surgery for his nose because he feared the seizures would
return. His social and professional self-confidence were too well
established to be undermined by this affliction. It appeared as if he
dared people to meet him squarely and not shrink from the sight,
asserting the force of his character over the ugliness of his face.[17]
He was known to dislike publicity and hated being photographed; as a
result of his self-consciousness of his rosacea, all of his professional
portraits were retouched.

Morgan smoked dozens of cigars per day and favored large Havana cigars
dubbed Hercules' Clubs by observers.[18]

His house on Madison Avenue was the first electrically lit private
residence in New York. His interest in the new technology was a result
of his financing Thomas Edison's Edison Electric Illuminating Company in
1878.[19] J. P. Morgan also owned East Island in Glen Cove, NY where he
had a large summer house.

 
J. P. Morgan's yacht Corsair, later bought by the U.S. Government and
renamed the USS Gloucester to serve in the Spanish-American War.
Photograph by J. S. Johnston.An avid yachtsman, Morgan owned several
sizable yachts. The well-known quote, "If you have to ask the price, you
can't afford it" is commonly attributed to Morgan in response to a
question about the cost of maintaining a yacht, but the actual wording
of the original statement is a bit obscure.[20]

Morgan was scheduled to travel on the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic, but
canceled at the last minute.[21] The Titanic was owned and operated by
the White Star Line, and Morgan had his very own private suite and
promenade deck on the ship.

Morgan died while traveling abroad in Rome. On March 31, 1913, just shy
of his seventy-sixth birthday, Morgan passed away in his sleep at the
Grand Hotel. Nearly 4,000 condolence letters were received there
overnight and flags on Wall Street flew at half-staff. The stock market
was also closed for two hours when his body passed through Wall
Street.[22]

At the time of his death, he had an estate worth $68.3 million ($1.39
billion in today's dollars), of which about $30 million represented his
share in the New York and Philadelphia banks. The value of his art
collection was estimated at $50 million.[23]

His remains were interred in the Cedar Hill Cemetery in his birthplace
of Hartford, Connecticut.

His son, J. P. Morgan, Jr., inherited the banking business.[24]


[edit] Collector of art, books, and gemstones
Morgan was a notable collector of books, pictures, and other art
objects, many loaned or given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (of
which he was president and was a major force in its establishment), and
many housed in his London house and in his private library on 36th
Street, near Madison Avenue in New York City. His son, J. P. Morgan,
Jr., made the Pierpont Morgan Library a public institution in 1924 as a
memorial to his father and kept Belle da Costa Greene, his father's
private librarian, as its first director.[25] Morgan was painted by many
artists including the Peruvian Carlos Baca-Flor and the Swiss-born
American Adolfo Müller-Ury, who also painted a double portrait of Morgan
with his favorite grandchild Mabel Satterlee that for some years stood
on an easel in the Satterlee mansion but has now disappeared.

 
The J.P. Morgan Library and Art MuseumBy the turn of the century JP
Morgan had become one of America's most important collectors of gems and
had assembled the most important gem collection in the U.S. as well as
of American gemstones (over 1000 pieces). Tiffany & Co. assembled his
first collection under their "chief gemologist" George Frederick Kunz.
The collection was exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris in 1889. The
exhibit won two golden awards and drew the attention of important
scholars, lapidaries and the general public.[26]

George Frederick Kunz then continued to build a second, even finer,
collection which was exhibited in Paris in 1900. Collections have been
donated to the American Museum of Natural History in New York where they
were known as the Morgan-Tiffany and the Morgan-Bement collections.[27]
In 1911 Kunz named a newly found gem after his biggest customer:
morganite.

 
U.S. gemstones from the Morgan collectionMorgan was a benefactor of the
American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
Groton School, Harvard University (especially its medical school),
Trinity College, the Lying-in Hospital of the City of New York, and the
New York trade schools.

Morgan was also a patron to photographer Edward S. Curtis, offering
Curtis $75,000 in 1906, for a series on the Native Americans. Curtis
eventually published a 20-volume work entitled "The North American
Indian."[28] Curtis went on to produce a motion picture In The Land Of
The head Hunters (1914), which was later restored in 1974 and
re-released as In The Land Of The War Canoes. Curtis was also famous for
a 1911 Magic Lantern slide show The Indian Picture Opera which used his
photos and original musical compositions by composer Henry F.
Gilbert.[29]


[edit] Legacy
His son, J. P. Morgan, Jr. took over the business at his father's
death, yet never sought publicity, but instead helped create and control
the Federal Reserve with 11 other banking families. As required by the
1933 Glass-Steagall Act, the "House of Morgan" became three entities:
J.P. Morgan & Co., which later became Morgan Guaranty Trust; Morgan
Stanley, an investment house; and Morgan Grenfell in London, an overseas
securities house.

There is now a restaurant in Montpelier, Vermont named after him.[30]
The gemstone Morganite was named in his honor.[31]


[edit] Popular culture
Bertolt Brecht the German writer based the figure of Pierpont Mauler
the beef tycoon in his play Saint Joan of the Stockyards on Morgan. 
In the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the
character J. Pierrepont Finch is portrayed as a rising, powerful
businessman; his character is possibly an allegory of Morgan's. The
character Mr. Bratt alludes to the nominal similarity in the beginning
of the show: "Pierrepont. Say, maybe that ought to be J. Pierrepont
Finch." 
J.P. Morgan appears as a character in Caleb Carr's novel The Alienist.

J. P. Morgan appears in E. L. Doctorow's novel Ragtime, and in the
broadway musical of the same name. 
J.P. Morgan is mentioned, by name, by Oliver Warbucks in the broadway
musical, Annie. 
J.P. Morgan is mentioned in F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel, The
Great Gatsby. 
J.P. Morgan is also mentioned in John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of
Wrath. 
J.P. Morgan is mentioned in Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs. 
J.P. Morgan is mentioned in the novel Against the Day by Thomas
Pynchon. 
J.P. Morgan is mentioned in O Pioneers!by Willa Cather. 
The name J.P. Morgan is mentioned in the song "We Got Elegance" in the
Jerry Herman musical Hello, Dolly!. 
Carlito Brigante is likened to J. P. Morgan in the 1993 film Carlito's
Way. 
A satirical version of J. P. Morgan appears in Matt Fraction and Steven
Sanders' graphic novel The Five Fists of Science' 
In The Wind and the Lion, Theodore Roosevelt mockingly toasts Morgan
and refers to him as (aside from the Raisuli) "the only real pirate I
know". 
In Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman, J.P. Morgan is mentioned
as an example of how one does not have to be likeable to be successful
in business, which runs counter to protagonist Willy Loman's ideas. 
Samuel Barber's operetta, A Hand of Bridge contains a reference to J.P.
Morgan's wealth, when the character, David, sings, "If I were rich as
Morgan, I would still play bridge every night with Sally and Bill.' '
