Book excerpt: George Peabody's career was tightly woven into the context of major 19th century events in both the U.S. and Great Britain, including America's Civil War and its aftermath. An obvious division in his life was between active American patriotism--and determination to live in England for his last 32 years. He declined Queen Victoria's offer of a baronetcy because it would have required him to give up American citizenship, but he also turned down appointment as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury because he wanted to remain in England. He was the leader in attracting badly needed British and European capital to the U.S. and was the major financier of America's railroad industry, mechanized farm equipment industry, and first-ever Transatlantic telegraph cable. The firm of George Peabody & Co. eventually became J.P. Morgan & Co. Peabody also divided his life between business and philanthropy. He invented the now-familiar permanent foundation as a way of financing charitable activities, as distinct from one-time bequests for specific projects. In his lifetime he was recognized as the greatest philanthropist in history, with dramatic undertakings on both sides of the Atlantic that are still important today. And he accomplished all this with only a fourth-grade education. A life divided, indeed! In uniquely productive ways.

Book excerpt: "George Peabody was born in Danvers, Massachusetts in 1795, into a family of modest means. After serving in the War of 1812 and settling in Baltimore, Peabody began building the financial empire that became the House of Morgan. Recognized as the father of modern philanthropy, George Peabody established the Peabody Education Fund which provided for public education in the war-torn South in the wake of the Civil War. In London he founded the Peabody Trust to create housing for London's poor. He endowed Peabody museums at Harvard and Yale universities and in Salem, Massachusetts. All of Peabody's benefactions were without precedent in their time. George Peabody reserved one of his extraordinary gifts for the city of Baltimore -- the Peabody Institute. The Peabody Art Gallery was one of the first public art galleries in the nation."--Unpaged
