Jeff Humphrey,Kathleen Collins (University of Notre Dame, Indiana University of Minnesota University of Minnesota)

Businessmen like Jay Gould of the railroad industry and oil tycoon JD Rockefeller helped make New York prosperous, while many local inventors, engineers, and architects helped create new and valuable ideas. From the beauty and strength of the Brooklyn Bridge to the innovations of Corning Glass Works, New Yorks past and present are ripe with fascinating tales of economic growth and innovation.
