Financier well known for his stock market manipulation of railroad securities; he also tried to corner the gold market, causing the ‘Black Friday’ stock market crash of September 1869. Partly-printed DS, one page both sides, 8.5 x 13.25, March 10, 1872. Agreement between J. B. Scorrill and the Erie Railroad company for the purchase of a tract of land for $75 dollars. Signed in the lower left corner by Gould as the company’s president. In very good condition, with horizontal folds, scattered toning and soiling, and a few small edge tears. Any Gould signature on any document connected with the Erie is quite rare.
