Greed in the gilded age : the brilliant con of Cassie Chadwick / William Elliott Hazelgrove.
"She might be one of the greatest con artists of all time. Cassie Chadwick conned millions of dollars out of banks by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie. It was a simple but brilliant con that reflects the ethos and the high-flying greed of the Gilded Age."-- Provided by publisher.
