# The Driver

By Garet Garrett.

"The Driver" by Garet Garrett is a novel published in 1922. It follows Henry M. Galt, a brilliant financial speculator who rescues a failing railroad during the panic of 1893 and transforms it into a national asset. Through vision and relentless work, Galt becomes America's wealthiest person, revitalizing the country's economy. But his unprecedented success breeds envy and distrust. Those who cannot understand his genius unite with the federal government to destroy him and dismantle the empire he built. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
