<B>Fernandina and Jacksonville Railroad Company. $1000</B></I><BR>Edward Henry Harriman (1848-1909), Self-confident, dominant, cold, and ruthless, he spared neither friend nor foe if they blocked his plans. Certainly at the top of America's capitalists and railroad men. He was President of the Union Pacific and is most famous for his battle against James J. Hill to gain control of the Northern Pacific which resulted in the stock market panic of 1901. He was worth $400 million at the turn of the century. Characterized as the last great individualist, his genius as an administrator made him one of the great railway builders of all time. This Fernandina & Jacksonville Railroad 1880 bond has so many great qualities. Issued in a rare state, this Florida bond is fully issued, uncancelled, has all 60 coupons, is signed and sealed three times by officers of 2 railroads and a steamboat company. Harriman signs at back with other trustees. The bond is of a rare format and is wider in size than normally seen. Beautifully engraved by American Bank Note Company. <B>Extremely Fine.</B></I>
