James Fisk, partner of Jay Gould, in the Gold
James Fisk, partner of Jay Gould, in the Gold Ring, to corner the Gold exchange market in Sept. 1869. Fisk torments the bulls and bears of the NYC Gold Room, while President Grant runs with a bag of $5 million in gold, which when made available to the gold exchange, restored solvency, but not before damage was inflicted on the US economy in the Panic of 1869
