If “legendary Wall Street figure” ever described anyone, it was turn-of-the-last-century financier J.P. Morgan. You can throw in “bigger than life” to boot.

Morgan was used to getting his way. His steely eyes cast a “ferocious glare.” His bulbous nose added to his imposing presence.

Beyond appearance and persona, Morgan was a one-man central bank. Historians credit him with bringing calm — and loads of liquidity — to the “Panic of 1907.”
