Synopsis:

Non-fiction. A pictorial history of Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green at Round Hill , his estate in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Son of Hetty Green, known to many as the "Witch of Wall Street", Colonel Green was a bright, intelligent man who encouraged technological research on his estate. He supported Massachusetts Institute of Technology in their research at Round Hill, had his own private airport, preserved the whaleship "Charles W. Morgan" and invited the public to come view it. He was a colorful individual, worth millions, and loved by many. He also collected coins, stamps and gems, and his friends included the rich and famous.
