Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John W. Steele was raised on a farm in the serene Allegheny Mountains in NW PA. The poor farm boy spent his days doing chores, exploring the surrounding hills and fishing the numerous streams that meandered through the secluded little valleys. In 1859 a yankee named Edwin Drake, drilled the first successful oil well in Titusville, PA. With his success, an influx of oil prospectors, business tycoons and laborers swarmed the area. After the tragic death of Johnny's Aunt Sally, young Steele inherited the farm and a fortune in royalties from oil leases. He later became known as one of the biggest spendthrifts in American history and went from multi-millionaire to bankrupt in a matter of months. Johnny would later recover from his financial hardfall and become one of the greatest legends of his time.

Leaving Eouseville in the fall of 1873, I went to Pittsburgh, taking my family with me, my purpose being to try a course in the Iron City Business College, thinking it would further my chances of meeting with success in life. I found Pittsburgh a busier city than when I had visited it in company with Mr. Hayes a few years before, but, in view of my experiences in the interim, it did not seem as large. Nor did I care so much for riding upon the street cars. However, I had a boy to whom this afforded much pleasure, and I often accompanied him. We were in Pittsburgh for four months, the time necessary to complete the course I was taking, and I have always believed I acquitted myself with credit as a student. To see a fellow who had been through the experiences I had, calmly settled down to the life of a scholar even in a business college, seemed almost a paradox to some people. My previous experience had been chiefly confined to one eide of the ledger; now I became acquainted with the other as well. I should have done this earlier in life. We returned to Franklin in the spring of 1874. I tried to secure a position, and several men offered to assist me to that end. But I was not successful, and became somewhat discouraged. The little city did not offer as many opportunities for advancement then as it does to-day. However, I did make a business move to the extent of putting some money in a meat market with my brother-in-law, but the venture did not pay, and I withdrew. I found the feeling of despondency creeping over me again. At times everything seemed to conspire against my getting a foothold. Surrounding me, too, were many who were acquaintances of long standing, and the invitations to drink became too frequent. So I...
