Book Description
A unique and comprehensive work of first-hand research painstakingly compiled over a number of years. It offers a fascinating examination of the people who founded the country banks and of their ancestors. The majority of those who succeeded the founders of many of these banks were related to each other, creating a national grid of family connections and power.
Volume 1 is a commentary on the growth of rural banks.
Volume 2 is a complete record of the founders of these banks, their successors and a detailed account of how the merging of the various institutions led to the creation of many of the major financial institutions we know today.
