Frederick Lewis Allen
American editor of Harper's Magazine who wrote popular histories of the 1920s boom, the crash and J. P. Morgan.
Only Yesterday appeared within two years of the 1929 crash and records the Florida land boom, the margin mania and the mood of the decade as contemporaries experienced them, before hindsight tidied the story. The Big Change and The Great Pierpont Morgan carry that reporting into how American wealth and finance reorganised across the first half of the century.
