I obtained this through the LA County Library after reading Wallach and found it to be much better, but not as good as When They Shook the Plum Tree. It does include the photo of Mrs. Green dressed in black that appeared as the frontispiece in the 1935 Witch of Wall Street that I read years ago.
Mr. Slack has done a lot of research but there seems to be little new to discover. Apparently there are no business files to be found, although he did have a bit of luck with the Chemical Bank. Mr. Slack is kind to everyone, including Sylvia and Col. Green.
I wonder if any of the legatees gave money to the Hetty Green Historical Society in New Bedford.
