I read a book written about her, railroads were a means of getting her hands on vast amounts of land attached with them. She'd buy up the bonds and wait for the company to fail. Sell off the line and pocket the difference. Brilliant lady

Her son was my best friends great grandfather’s business partner! EHR Green came to Dallas where his mother owned a stretch a RR. I don’t think she ever visited but his grandmother told stories to me about visiting Hetty in NYC.
