DEDICATIONThis book is dedicated to J. Pierpont Morgan, astraightplayer of acrookedgame, who, it is said, played his usual role in the Wall Street manipulations of the Central Railroad of Georgia securities, which adroitly and legally absorbed the small savings and happiness of many unsophisticated investors—an action which, in my case at least, proved to be a blessing in disguise, for it made mesufferfirst and then made methink. Hence the gratitude and consequent dedication to Mr. Morgan for starting the train of thought, which finally resulted in the invention of Roadtown, a plan for side-stepping thecrookedgame as now played so that henceforth whosoever will may become astraightplayer of astraightgame.
