As a staple figure in corporate financial history, John Pierpont Morgan is known far and wide as America's "greatest banker" (Adrian Wooldridge). Morgan began his career in 1837 by joining the family bank, "House of Morgan," which grew large enough to save the federal reserve during the depression of 1890 by backing it with $62 million in gold bullion, a situation Morgan would become familiar with in his own leadership on Wall Street. Having formed several multinational corporations such as U. S. Steel through the merging of interests, Morgan held a colossal amount of power over capital markets in the United States and was able to save the American monetary system from collapse in the financial crisis of 1907.
