About this product

Product Information

This intriguing biography of Lowell reveals a private life and a public career framed by both the heritage of a legendary family and a city in transition. Drawing on Lowell's diary as well as on private and public records, Mark I. Gelfand first traces Lowell's early years, his student days at Harvard University, his military service during World War I, and his banking career in the 1920s. He then examines in-depth Lowell's major business and civic activities, focusing on the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, the Lowell Institute, Harvard University, the Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts General Hospital, and a variety of humanitarian organizations.
